Spring is here and that means lots of nature study for us! We have been visited by so many different critters in the last few weeks. I will post all of the pics we've taken in the last two weeks.
Our tree is finally blooming, this is the only time of year it blooms so I really wanted to take a pic of how beautiful it looks!
My favorite bird, the cardinal and the female cardinal! The visit all the time but they scare so easily... they are starting to get used to us.. I hope!
I finally got a pic of the very elusive chickadee, he never stays at the feeder long... but I got him that time!
The house finches are always around, the truth is we are not sure if they are house or purple finches, A9 says house, so I guess that's what they are!
The mourning doves are always around as well, they have no problems being near us!
The robins, of course they are around all year!
We had another visitor to our feeders... a squirrel.. this little guy is very brave!
The Mallards visited us during a rain storm!
This is a male cowbird... they are pretty cute!
This is the female cowbird.
We found an egg sack on one of our bushes!
I have no clue what type of egg sack this is, praying mantis maybe!!
This afternoon we found a groundhog on our neighbors yard, turns out they have been trying to catch him for a couple of days now. Well, they got him!
No worries though, they are going to take him to the woods and release him there.
These guys are always around, the grackles.
One more pic of the groundhog before they take him away, we feed him some apple slices.
One last pic of my fave... the cardinal!
We keep seeing a blue heron, I'm trying very hard to get a pic. I love watching birds from my deck, I love hearing their songs. I will try to get more pics soon!
