A Few Favourites!
Spring is a time for beautiful discoveries!

Eastern Bluebird with nesting material, just before entering nesting box! The female makes the nest by loosely weaving together grasses and pine needles, then lines it with fine grasses and sometimes horse hair or turkey feathers.

Although very noisy at this time of year, the Canada Geese can be quite entertaining! One Goose chose a high perch and another Goose decided to bring him down to ground level, where they belong!
