A mother Canada goose decided to nest right outside of the church sanctuary window. At one point she started pecking at the window and we all decided she was yelling at us to, ”keep it down in there!”

The air is warming, the days are longer, and the robins are back to sing the sun to rest.
Hark! A visitor that isn’t a squirrel!
Spotted a Dark-eyed Junco huddling in the branches of our backyard today. Apparently they are true snowbirds, coming down from Canada for winter. They must be tough to find 4° F a warm escape.
Met a peacock this weekend and immediately thought of how they wake @maique’s family up all the time.
House Finch dad keeping watch on his mate and her nest.
Teenage cardinal was a little calmer while hanging out with us today.
These teenage cardinals are intense!
I met one of the new baby hawks on a walk yesterday. Totally fearless about us walking under her. I wish I’d had my real camera with me but it was close enough to capture this with my phone.
“Hi!”
They may look like they’re singing but this pair of Great Crested Flycatchers spent a good deal of the weekend attacking their reflections in our window. Thankfully, they do have beautiful songs once they calm down.
Spring love
The squirrels have a lot more than blue jays to worry about this morning!
Spring continues to increase the diversity of our backyard birds. This week, the blue jays have returned to battle the squirrels for seeds.
Cardinal Kiss Cam This couple loves to feed each other each night at our feeders. It’s very sweet.
Somehow a Rose-breasted Grosbeak flew all the way down from the great white north to hang out in our backyard. Good thing we had snacks prepared!
I hope your day is as happy as this goldfinch is.
Happy Easter everyone
Another hummingbird arrived in the back yard and the first is not happy to share. Lots of beautiful mid-air battles.
The hummingbirds have returned! The 1yr anniversary of lockdown didn’t really connect with me until I saw this little guy. Time is a circle.
Caught some “neighbors” arguing about something on today’s walk. I think they should just make up and appreciate the beautiful day. (I sure did.)
Finally managed to capture the woodpecker with the help of the phone app’s remote shutter.
Mother owl is watching over me, making sure I don’t try anything funny with her child.
Grogu, the baby owl, figured out how to get out of his house and get some cooler air.
The baby of the owl family (we named him Grogu) is finally old enough to venture outside of their house.
