Wings That Make Me Smile!

An American Robin sports a bushy moustache beside our house!

There have been very few Canada Goose goslings in the past two years (which is a good thing) but it's always nice to see the fuzzy babies.

Even Mallard ducklings are hatching. I usually don't see Mallard families until a little later in May.

2 Male Red-winged Blackbirds had a territorial squabble right beside me!

A Canada Goose decided to become a 'perching' bird!

He seems to be wondering if perching in the tree was a good idea after all!!

The yellow rump, on the Yellow-rumped Warbler displayed nicely on this bird! So often birds are given names that don't necessarily help with identification.

I wasn't expecting to hear the Carolina Wren belting out his song while holding a very large larva in its beak! The larva definitely did not soften the wren's vocalization ability!

An Ovenbird was surprisingly quiet. This elusive bird was sitting in a low tree and in the open!

Eastern Screech Owls are again nesting in the park! This individual is likely the male who is keeping an eye on the cavity where his mate sits with the eggs.
