Nest Box Status – May
It was about a month ago since I posted about the status of the birds that use our nest boxes NEST BOX CHECK. Many things have transpired since then. Here’s what’s going on: Box A2 (Northwest corner of property) This Bluebird couple just fledged… Continue Reading “Nest Box Status – May”
More Seasonal Arrivals
A couple weeks ago I posted images of some of the early arrivals; birds that will spend their summer here: More recently I have spotted additional species that I’ve been waiting to see. The first Flycatcher species I saw, an Eastern Phoebe, was perched… Continue Reading “More Seasonal Arrivals”
Nest Box Check Results!
Yesterday I had a stressful business day. When I got back to the house I was exhausted. But, the weather was lovely (almost hit 80 degrees F for the first time this year with full sun.) I knew that the weather was about to… Continue Reading “Nest Box Check Results!”

Making A Home
The House Wrens arrived last week. I could tell by their melodious song. Last year a pair made a home in a box near the Alleyway, which is centrally located on the property. This year, they are smitten with a new box we put… Continue Reading “Making A Home”
Nest Box Status
After several days of rain and dreary weather, I was able to get out in the brilliant sun on April 30 and May 1. May 1 was my birthday, so it was especially nice to experience the tranquillity and vibrancy of Spring. I can’t… Continue Reading “Nest Box Status”
Returnees
I’m still waiting for a few of my favorite birds to arrive, like the Eastern Kingbirds, the Indigo Bunting and the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. But, this past few days I’ve noticed a couple of other returnees. This is the Brown Thrasher. Yes, what a horrible… Continue Reading “Returnees”
