It was certainly a good weekend for it; hardly a drop of rain, not a lot of bugs (yet), and quiet enough to be able to hear the birds singing! We saw and/or heard a large variety (by “we” I mean Dodie, Myles, and I, at different times); our total for the weekend was 42 species. I so wish I had a picture of the Black-Backed Woodpecker we saw; it was a first-time sighting for me, and I didn’t have my camera with me.
The Mergansers dropped by to say hello.
 |
| As soon as I got out the camera, they started to turn away. Camera shy? |
There is lots of power in those wings.
 |
| I should have had the setting on a higher shutter speed. |
We counted more Robins than anything else (19). They seemed to be everywhere.
 |
| Om nom nom... |
The Blue Jays were at the feeders, of course.
 |
| Love the little dangling feet! |
I was pleased to see several Veerys. They are friendly little birds.
 |
| He flew in for this closeup. |
Iain got a picture of the Beaver dragging a stick around.
 |
| I really wish he'd go to another lake - he makes such a mess. |
And Nibbles came by for a snack.
 |
| If he would only content himself with the clover and weeds, and leave my Purple Liatris alone! |
The wee Bunny is still living around there somewhere, too.
 |
| He came to the patio door again, too. He must see his reflection. |
Aside from this, the usual assortment of Squirrels and Chipmunks kept the feeders empty!
