I am tied to my desk and other indoors activities today but my windows are open just a little bit so as to keep rain out.
In the last hour, I have heard calls from MANY birds of these species, and can see them flitting about in the underbrush and canopy. It's a WAVE at my house! * Yellow-rumped Warbler (first heard Weds - several) * Black and White Warbler (first heard Weds - 1 individual) * Tennessee Warbler (wow are they loud when they get up close! Like the spring peepers...) * Nashville Warbler * Blue-headed Vireo * White-throated Sparrows (been here for weeks, but still fun to hear them) * Song and Swamp Sparrows (also been here for a while) I also saw/heard the B. Oriole yesterday, so have to rush out when time to do errands and get some grape jelly... I tried the Strawberry we made last year but they just don't like it as well...! The Red-shouldered Hawk has built a new nest, almost visible from the porch, this year. They are kee-eeer-ing overhead quite frequently.
