Too Long!



Well I was just looking over my list and realized there were a few pictures I needed to add...more birds to add to my list! Here is a Great Blue Heron and a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker.

Whoa! Long Time No See!


Wow! I haven't updated in a looooong time!!! It got a little quiet at the feeders for a while. I guess they were all busy with their nests and eggs! The only ones coming around were the Grackles and Red-Wings...they were loud and messy, emptying the feeders all over the ground!

Now the babies have started coming around! Some are cute! Like the young Blue Jays who shriek at me when there are no more peanuts and don't even fly away when I go out to put more! The young Chickadees are noisy too! They are so lazy! They sit on the clothesline chattering while mom goes back and forth to feed them. There are a bunch of House Sparrows and House Finches too! Then yesterday a young Cardinal came by...it looks kinda funny with its regular female-like colours but with red spots all over! :0) There were young Ring-Billed Gulls and a Great Blue Geron at the river's edge this week! Plus a new bird to put on the list! A Common Tern! I thought I was just taking a picture of another Gulls but as I zoomed in on the computer I saw that it was different! I will be back in a few days to add some baby pictures but for now, here is the Common Tern.
