This plucky little fellow was defending his nest box from 7 Tree Swallows. He reminded me of my friend Annette, who is dealing so bravely with a serious cancer diagnosis.   May they both prevail!

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!
