Birds

If you like watching birds or have any comments about a cool bird in your yard or something, this would be a good place to discuss anything to do with birds.

More starlings this year than normal

Oriole fleet has arrived in the Lacrosse county area.
Thanks to all that posted there arrivals last few days.
Put some jelly feeders and oranges out yesterday for today's incoming. This evening the hummingbird feeders were deployed.

Mouthful of grass steadily working.

The one footed guy is still trucking along!

That’s your big boy 8.26 x 3.15 x 7.28. Going with a $10 jumbo cakes.

 

Orioles and hummingbirds in Sheboygan county today. 

Had my first oriole today too!! When do the hummingbirds start to show up?

Cool find.  

Male grosbeak at the feeder-put out grape jelly and oranges.  Will get hummingbird feeder up and ready tonight.

Rare visitor to Wisconsin....American Avocet....4/28 @ Algoma 

Mr. BMRR I am ready to deliver. Will you help me get back to my nest?

First oriole of the year beautiful way too far away to get a good pic. I can hear them chattering all over.

Red headed peckers seem to be making a comeback.......nice to see!   All the dead ash trees for cavity nesting?

Sonny number three sent these pictures at the learning to adult house in Fox lake il. Said they were at the feeder but he spooked them before he could get a better shot. Two male red heads, he hasn't seen any females. 

Stray gosling wandered into the yard a few days ago.  Not sure where it wandered in from. I've only been seeing nesting Mallards and Wood ducks around the house.
Healthy as a horse and eating well. So cute when there this young.
