WOW,
Things are really terrific bird-wise. It is nice to see what visits the
yard in Middleburg Hts. Last Tuesday, April 21 was a Pine Warbler at the
suet feeder/peanuts.
Yesterday, April 28 in a brief span of about ½ an hour, between about 6:45
and 7:15 PM it was birdy bonanza.
First I noticed the gravel driveway appearing as though it were moving … had
to be 25 to 30 White-throated Sparrows bopping around, 2 Song Sparrows
(locals) and 12 Chipping Sparrows.
At the thistle feeders the American Goldfinch were glowing, even the females
are brighter. Add a couple of cherry colored House Finch and a couple more
Chipping Sparrows, 2 Pine Siskin and 2 Mourning Dove
Move to the sunflower feeder and wow – a female Eastern Towhee and 2 male
Indigo Bunting as well as assorted House Finch, American Goldfinch and
Chipping Sparrows
Lastly, the peanut feeder – oh my gosh – a Yellow-throated Warbler picking
at the peanuts. The first Yellow-throated Warbler for the yard. He was
glorious. Hope he decides the sycamores along Baldwin Creek across the
street would make a great place to settle, got to keep my eyes and ears
open.
Get out and enjoy … or enjoy your feeders!
