One place that I visit, the Tree Swallows inhabit most of the Bluebird houses.

A rose breasted grosbeak. They may have been around but I didn't notice them. This is my first year with feeders so that could be why I've never noticed them before. I think it is a female in the pic along with the male. Eleanor

Wonderful pics everyone...I am so happy to see them all!
Well I saw the Scissor tailed Flycatcher in the same area today again I did not have my camera! I hate to take it with me as I would hate to have it stolen so I may go back tomorrow and see if it is there! What a cool looking bird! As I type this I see the male and female Indigo Bunting chowing down at the tube feeder.
Eleanor...congrats...the Grosbeaks are really lovely birds!! |

| I had not seen the bluebird fledglings for two weeks when this one showed back up asking to be fed. The male bluebird kept laying the bug down and picking it up. Was he showing the youngster how to catch a bug? He never did feed the youngster. After a while he took the bug into the box to the new babies. The youngster sat awhile with a sad look and then finally flew off.

| While I was trying to get a picture of the White-breasted Nuthatch at my peanut feeder I caught a little flash of yellow, something out of the ordinary in that part of the yard because the goldfinch feeder is on the other side of the house. Although it was raining and I had to shoot through the window over to my neighbor's cherry tree, I at least was able to get one picture of this unfamiliar visitor before he flew off. He's definitely not a regular in my yard and although I'm very weak in warbler ID, I think it's a Common Yellowthroat.

Nice day to get the pond going, although it's unfinished, the birds didn't seem to mind, they were anxiously waiting for it to run. As soon as we left the area, we started seeing them go for drinks and baths.

| I don't have any photos for you, but as I sit here this a.m. reading each wonderful thread, I cannot believe the activity on my patio, both at the hanging feeders and bowl on the ground, with an oriole visitor (first ever), goldfinches, titmice, juncos, chipping sparrows.
A crow (I imagine it's the same one) has been coming and going all morning to the bowl. He and a squirrel were "debating" over whose turn it was! The squirrel climbed the pole to the hanging feeder. |

| Yesterday morning at dawn we had a line of thunderstorms rumble through. Odd timing. All of a sudden the sky above our house was filled with wood storks. They are a fairly common sight around here, but it's still surprising to see so many large birds at once flying so low.
Several rested briefly at my farm pond. They are such unique looking birds.

| I think these two regulars are planning to raise a family nearby, but so far they seem to be just enjoying the food service. The male had his work cut out for himself the other day as he had a difficult time chasing another male cardinal who seemed to have plans on hanging around. They must have flown around the yard in circles at ten plus times before the newcomer seemed to get the idea that this yard was not likely to become his new hangout.

A first ever for me - an indigo bunting! I was so excited to see it! It's a terrible photo because it was on a bad angle through glass and with glare, but I'm sure it's an indigo bunting. On mother's day no less! What a treat! I sent a photo to my mother too!

| Granny Grunt, it just may be that the 'cherry' in 'cherry crunch suet' is what your robin was going after. I've never seen robins go after my suet, but then again mine aren't usually of the gourmet variety that yours is.
A few years back I bought some dried grubs which I put out on a brick in the garden. It didn't take long for the robins to find them. I couldn't believe how many of those grubs the robin stuffed in its beak before flying back to feed its nestlings. |

| Quoted: | | arctic tern too - don't they have an ability to fly extremely far or something like that? Something sticks out in my mind that they are very long flyers |
Yep - they breed in the arctic, and winter right down to the antarctic. One from over here (northeast England) reached Melbourne, Australia, 22,000 km by sea, when only about 4 or 5 months old.
| Quoted: | | Red Headed, once more. ... Not sure who his little friend is |
Song Sparrow.
| Quoted: | | but I'm sure it's an indigo bunting |
Yep!

| Thanks for the confirmation on the tern Resin. What an amazing feat for a young bird.
I had a special moment earlier, a Baltimore oriole came very close to my front window!

| Great pictures folks.
Thanks everyone. Thanks Resin for the Id on the Song Sparrow.
Thymewarp, that Cherry Crunch was definitely a mistake on my part. All of the birds absolutely love it. In fact, if these characters keep eating like they have been the past week, I am going have to come out of retirement to continue feeding them.
Pelle, I am really going to do my best to keep that woodpecker coming back to my place!
Same goes for the Grosbeak.

| Love the Blue Heron!
Rose, I DID send you some Blue Jays. Please let me know if you would like more.
They are eating me out of house and home.
However, I am really pumped! Three new birds to my area in a week. Two today, the Red Headed Woodpecker and an Indigo Bunting. Sorry about the quality of the Bunting's shot, but the sky had darkened and it was beginning to storm.

| GG: So what if the shots are a little fuzzy. Just look at the intense blue of your bunting! Oooh. Besides, he probably likes it at your house and will hang around til a sunnier day. :)

Love the pic of the robins. Babies are all the same. I can hear them screaming, "MAMA!"

Deb, I sure hope those Indigo Buntings hang around. It sat out in the Mock Orange bush sheltering itself from the rain for quite a while.
