The male Pine Warbler that I mentioned had started coming to our
feeders last week hasn't missed a day since and, today, brought
his better-half along with him. He sings almost constantly and
seems to have set up their territory with our lot at the center
which is strange to me as there are only a handful of small pines
in our part of the woods. They may still move up the road to the
pine thicket when it comes time to actually get down to nesting
I guess. Or maybe competition and Pine Beetle devastation has
forced them to accept a less suitable habitat.
The Am Goldfinches and Yellow-rumped Warblers are beginning to
get their spring colors. The local Red-tails were carrying sticks
a few weeks ago and were doing courtship flights this weekend.
The woodpeckers have been chasing each other for weeks now and the
Chickadees and Bluebirds are checking out accommodations.
