We’ve never had a House Wren here before- it’s pretty woodsy.  This one was singing and competing with a Chickadee for this house. Did not heard him yesterday…maybe he got discouraged?

This male Bluebird was defending his nest box from some persistent, pesky Tree Swallows.  Look out Swallows!

Migrant birds have been arriving, including a puzzling duck, found recently on Lake Runnemede in Windsor, Vermont. There has been a lot of debate about this female Scaup. Greater Scaup or Lesser Scaup. Here she is.
Lots more pictures in my Flickr gallery here:

Spring Bluebird

This plucky little fellow was bravely defending his birdhouse against 7 Tree Swallows. He made me think of my friend, Annette, who is bravely dealing with serious cancer, just recently discovered. May they both prevail!

Note:  My dear friend Annette has passed on, but her spirit is undiminished!

Took some pictures of a few of our Evening Grosbeaks today- we have a flock of about 15 noisy birds.  It’s a real treat to have them around, as they are becoming rare around here (in Vermont).
