Its warbler season..migration, I am excited to see what new warblers I can find this year..so I am up early with the birds this morning and not to miss anything I rush to get myself dressed and out of the house!
7:05 am, entering Sam Smith Park, yikes Timmies is closed- no coffee! Enter the bowl- The most beautiful bowl..that hosts hundreds? of warblers each spring migration...I'm ready...I hear birds tweeting, chirping, chatting, whistling, peeping..none were warbling. I ran across some wonderful gentlemen that helped with some of the birds, we saw a chestnut sided warbler (picture extremely blurry!) Vireos! yay, a Great Crested Flycatcher- confirmed by showing blurry picture to experience birder. So my excitment for warblers is waning
I set out to check out the apple trees, which are beautifully blooming..well here is the rest of my morning:
Hummingbird:
Red-eyed Vireo:
Scarlet Tanager
Male Baltimore Oriole:
I will have to try another day for the warblers, but I think I got a nice reward in lieu of not getting them. Especially the hummer, after last summer I thought I would never get one!!
Oh, I also am having my first cup of coffee while I am posting this...finally
Happy Warbling!
Irene
