Birds

If you like watching birds or have any comments about a cool bird in your yard or something, this would be a good place to discuss anything to do with birds.

Have an Oriole pair in the yard last couple of days.  And an Indigo Bunting this morning in wife's flower garden. 

Have this red headed woodpecker hanging around the last couple of days.

I think MicroSoft who’s moving into FoxConn constructed site is talking about havin an Orioles breeding sanctuary? Seen it on UTube.

A little disappointed thus far in the Oriole production here. Normally, we could have a dozen different meals in the yard. We did not see one orchard or one hooded this year many Baltimore come in just maybe once or twice a day different ones but they are not really hitting our feeders that well. They have purple and green grapes along with oranges, cuties limes, lemon, and Welches superior grape jelly. They might be mad at me that I don’t have any orange marmalade out. 

Saw a beautiful male scarlet tanager this morning.  Impressive bird indeed.

Morning regulars

The sharp-shinned hawks in my neighborhood were buzzing back and forth late this afternoon.

Goldfinch on the feeder today and one of several drake Harlequin ducks I photographed several weeks ago.

Rare visitor to Wisconsin...an immature male Summer Tanager...Kewaunee County 5/8/2024

Can you see her? She’s hanging very low in the nest today trying to hide from me.

I think this is a juvenile sharp shinned hawk and of course some orioles.

What a wast using lime for the birds. Limes are for margaritas.

No thems for me

Are those limes after being in the the kamikazes??

I’ve been putting out old lemons and limes for the birds and also cherry type tomatoes. They are hitting it.

The Oriole oasis is at full activity status.Few hummingbirds showed up a few days ago.
