A female Baltimore Oriole (bird, not baseball player!) checking out the hummingbird feeder.

American Goldfinch in Spring Moult

A molting male American Goldfinch perched just outside the kitchen window — and for once, everything lined up: sharp bird, clean background, and solid post-processing.

Lots of Gray Catbirds around the property.

Close shots of the male and female bluebirds that nested in our backyard box. Right now they are working hard, feeding the fledglings in the trees.

Happy #Wrensday! A very sturdy walkway for the House Wren.

The new feeder (as of 2 weeks ago). Taken through a freshly-washed window. 🙂

You can tell the wind was really blowing.

The humble house sparrow is still one of my favourite birds. This family either moved in recently, or they didn't like the food I put up all winter, because it would sit there until it got moldy. Now I have to refill the feeders every day (There's also jackdaws raiding them, lol)

Northern Flicker Update. The excavating seems to be all done. The egg-laying phase is probably happening now.

Egg-laying: up to 7 days
Incubation: 11-12 days
Nestling period: 25-28 days
That's a lot of work!

I'm trying not to bother the birds, but they picked a high-traffic location. High traffic for the boondocks: 12-15 vehicles pass by per day, and I'm usually out an about doing things.
