Feathered Friday - Spring SIghtings

Here are a few #featheredfriday sightings

I first noticed a little downy woodpecker looking for worms in an old rotted log.

This one must be a female as it has no red spot on the back of its head.

I wonder what it will find on this tiny little tree?

The robins are more active too even though it seems like they never even left this winter.

They are starting to look nice and bright orange now. Just in time for starting new families.

The bluebirds are claiming their boxes as well. They have to get to them before the tree swallows arrive.

I even saw a warbler of some kind. You can barely see the yellow on its wings. I thought it might be a yellow rumped warbler but the breast pattern looks different. Maybe it still has winter coloring and it will turn into a yellow warbler.

Now for a tiny little nest, perhaps it is a gray gnatcatcher nest.

Chippy was chirping in a funny way and I thought it was a bird foraging on the ground. Now he will be fodder for a #squirrelsunday post.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)

Fun shots all showing you are a few weeks ahead of us on springtime. Just a few robins around here. Bluebirds are hit or miss even though some winter here.

I wonder what it will find on this tiny little tree?

Tiny woodpecker, tiny tree, tiny treats 🙂
Is that a Federal warning on the bluebird house? Federal overreach if I ever saw it. That would be just inviting some bullet holes 'round these parts lol

Hahah the bluebirds are spoiled around here. The most tampering that would happen here is people trying to put their camera into the house for baby bird shots.

You are too strong, you manage to take photos of all these wild animals.

I just bring the camera along wherever I go. I do a pretty good mimic of the various bird songs too maybe that's why they pose for me.
