Spring migrants

New birds are showing up at our feeders daily and it's so fun to watch!  We took a few photos through our kitchen windows to share so forgive the quality please.  Below you see a Baltimore oriole on our suet feeder.  A younger oriole is also hanging about, but didn't show up for the photo shoot.


A male rose-breasted grosbeak is dining happily on sunflower & safflower seeds.


If you look in the middle of the photo below on the feeder opposite the cardinal you will see the female rose-breasted grosbeak.



Two male yellow warblers were hunting bugs in our lilac bush a few days ago and those are just the easy ones we've noticed!  Time to get outdoors and pay attention.
