This Sunday morning brought a splendid collection of birds to the tall pin oaks surrounding our Cleveland Heights backyard. Although we normally have a lot of warblers in early May, we also had two Great Crested Flycatchers (beautifully lit by the morning sun - and a new yard bird for us),an Indigo Bunting, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and Pine Siskin. The Red-breasted Nuthatch we had all winter had left 3 weeks ago, and this one appeared with the Siskin. In addition, a Red-headed Woodpecker - certainly not an expected bird in our neighborhood - showed up in the backyard near the Great Crested Flycatchers. I work on Sunday mornings, and I most certainly did not want to leave my yard! Here is my list of reasons to stay home from work (which I could not actually act upon): Red-headed Woodpecker 2 Great Crested Flycatcher (excellent view of both) Red-breasted Nuthatch Blue-winged Warbler Nashville Warbler (several) N. Parula Yellow Warbler Magnolia Black-throated Green Black and White White-throated Sparrow Indigo Bunting ...along with all the resident birds.
