Wood Ducks, Woodpeckers, Hummingbirds Wrens

                          Spring is an exciting time if you are a birdwatcher of interested in Nature.                                                   Mating or pairing is the thing,  or is it LOVE in the Air.

Tree Swallows 

Catbirds

Warblers Continue in Early May (5th & 6th)

 The Warbler migration is underway.  Our water feature will be their highlight and also the Forsythia's are full of insects so the feeding  begins.  Nashville Warblers are almost as yellow and bright as goldfinches.  The Yellow Warbler is very bright yellow too.  To bad my cataracts are mainly not seeing yellow at a distance.  It is a real disadvantage with Warblers.

Check the insects in the air that the warblers are lunching on.

Spring is Here and Warblers too! (April 28 to May 2)

Orange-crowned Warblers are the go to bird in Texas but I never really noticed them in AL.

Yellow-rumped Warblers are the most numerous and common warbler in the North America.

 

 Black and White Warbler usually on the tree trunks for high branches.

Ruby Crowned Kinglet Oakwood 4/28

The next day we spotted the Golden Crowned Kinglet's cousin the Ruby Crowned Kinglet.

First time I had a series of photos of the Golden-crowned  Kinglet.  They are the true sign of spring migration of song birds for me. Kinglets are quite the acrobats in the trees.
