North side of the tree.

This is the first time that I have had any grow on the south side of that tree.

A first ever for me. Until today I had never seen a Chestnut-sided Warbler.

This little guy refused to cooperate. Every time he came out in the open, he would disappear before the camera could focus.
Common Yellowthroat

Yellow Warbler

Yellow-rumped Warbler

I had another first yesterday. I had never before seen a Rose-breasted Grosbeak here.

She was still here yesterday evening and would have allowed me a nice wide open close up, but of course, I didn't have the camera with me.

The Bullock's Orioles are here.

Hope everyone has a really good Memorial Day.

Another photo op missed. I saw the wild turkey hen out in the grass and off of the nest. I opened the greenhouse door and was going to stick my head out the door to check on the nest.

The next thing I hear is flapping wings and the wild hen had leaped into the air and was flying straight at my face. I closed the door a little as she hovered right in front of my face. I so wish I had videoed that but the phone was in my pocket. Another once in a lifetime opportunity missed.

I did find out that the reason she acted like this is because poults are hatched. I could see one empty egg shell shell beside the Sweetgrass hen.

That’s really neat!

I saw what might be a tanager yesterday. It flew off before I could go put my glasses on though

It is about time for a Western Tanager to show up here.
