Spring 2014 Bird Sightings

[Kelly]

Post them as they arrive and you spot them. (If you've already seen them - post them and get caught up)

I saw my first rose-breasted grosbeak of the season this morning. Female dining on safflower seeds at my feeder for a good 3-4 minutes!

[Kelly]

She's been around all morning. Call me sexist, but I really wish her boyfriend would show up. He's much easier on the eyes.

[Brenda]

Good thread, Kelly! I get excited about my sightings every spring!

[Kelly]

The male RB Grosbeak is around now.

I'll probably put the hummingbird feeder out today. The oriole feeder has been out for a couple of weeks, but haven't seen any yet. Brenda, have you seen orioles yet?

[Brenda]

Nope, no orioles yet. I've had a few towhees that have made me look twice though! I've had my hummingbird feeders up for for just over a week now, but no sightings yet. The migration map shows that they've been spotted upstate...

[Kelly]

Cool. My mom has reported her towhees back as well. There must be something about my yard they don't like. I've never seen one here.

[Brenda]

We have hummingbirds!!!

[Kelly]

Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!
