The bald eagles nesting about a quarter mile from my house were the super stars this Spring. They flew over my yard on their way to hunting the Arkansas (I guess) and my neighbor swears they were eating her cat food, although why would the eagles eat the cat food and not the cats is beyond me. Somewhat eclipsed by the appearance of the eagles was a tiny wood pecker. He was little but he sure made his presence known! Of course, now that I have a camera that I could use to record these birds, they are gone.David in Kansashttp://growandtell.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-2207895886441112602010-05-04T07:22:15.075-05:002010-05-04T07:22:15.075-05:00What a nice spring morning post to read--good weat...What a nice spring morning post to read--good weather, flowers and beautiful birds. Awesome that you and C saw the wren so close. We have one flitting around our backyard these days. I hope he's looking for a place to settle. I'm not great at identifying all the birds but am picking them up a bit. We do get cardinals in our yard from time to time. Mostly, I hear them singing in the morning. Happy planting!!Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293021585820584668.post-26653075277699708932010-05-04T06:54:25.747-05:002010-05-04T06:54:25.747-05:00WHOOT!!

We have 2 different birds we haven't been able to identify. One was all black, with a bright orange head. They were about a katrillion of them in a tree at the park, making lots of noise! Later we saw them in a pasture with a bunch of cattle on the way to Protection one night. <br />The other was at my feeder on my porch and he was shaped like a woodpecker, but was black and white, just like I zebra. We haven't been able to find an exact match in our bird book, but its also outdated.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444906851048479864noreply@blogger.com
