Celebrating Bird Day !

Post by Ontario Chick » Sat May 09, 2020 11:49 am

Glad I found something to celebrate, lovely flock of Gold Finches created a racket this morning, possibly a comment on the weather.
Most exciting happening in our orchard, it looks like a pair of Bluebirds have settled here, spotted them when I was standing in front of a blooming Forsythia, which in my estimation is about 2 month too late and a what looked like Mrs Blue bird settled on a branch of an apple tree and as I was contemplating if it is, or isn't, Mr Blue bird joined her, amazing color, no mistaking him.
Any interesting bird visitors in your back yard?

We are having a really late spring. Birds are slowly coming back. This flycatcher was here yesterday. I don’t know what kind it is. I get several that are here for the summer. They are fast and often in the trees and bushes so I don't always get good pictures.

I have been hearing the woodcocks calling, but I don’t often see them since it’s usually dark when they start.
