Feeding Wild Birds

[sourland]

Just had a flock of chimney swifts (perhaps 9 or 10) feeding in the backyard. Haven't seen any around here since we tore down the old chimney at the beagle club. Made my day!

Saw a pair of warblers but wasn't able to see them well enough to identify.

Also saw one of the Wild turkey hen's that is nesting in the field.

4 jakes and a very pregnant doe feeding in the backyard.
Flemington, nicknamed 'circle city', has three traffic circles within a mile of one another. The largest, main circle has a large retention pond filled with cattails and surrounded by grass/lawn. Saw a pair of Canada geese with a half dozen or more goslings there. Going to be tricky for them to grow up and survive all the traffic.

The male Ruby-throated hummingbird has staked his claim to the feeder. No sign of the female yet.

I think I mentioned we saw a Canadian goose pair bring their young to the water for the first time a couple weeks ago. The goslings had to be a day or two old. Little fluff balls.

I figured they swam down stream and would not be able to come back up stream for a while. Well, they came back yesterday. Such a cute family! 6 babies. We did get pictures this time, but they are on the big camera. I'll have to wait for DH to get them on a computer so I can share.

I can’t wait to see!

Introducing the goose family. A little hard to see since they are on the other side of the river. We zoomed in the best we could.

A couple of days ago, I thought I heard a Baltimore oriole at the club. Today I saw him. They frequently build a nest in the large Sycamore tree on the front lawn. This is the first that I have seen one in several years.

Looked out the window and saw a Black-necked Stilt flying around.

Have you ever seen one in Wyoming before?
