It's Getting Alittle Exciting Out There!

I'm seeing new migrants every day now:



Red-breasted Nuthatch!










American White Pelicans!









Tree Swallow!









And even Painted turtles!

Sorry for the short post, sometimes work gets in the way of fun!

  7. Hmm, my tree swallows only arrive the end of the month and they are usually the first ones here - lucky you! The weather is so nice at the moment that my concentration span is 0.

  8. You may have thought this a short post but as they say a picture is worth a thousand words and these photos are screaming SPRING IS HERE to stay!!! I look forward each day to trying to spot migrants and signs of spring. So far, we have geese flying northward but none of these beauties you have shared.

    Happy Spring!
