While removing garlic mustard and dame's rocket this past weekend we saw
the following birds.
A female Northern Oriole working on removing a kite string from the top
of a dead tree as the male sang nearby. She would work on it then fly
away for a few minutes then come back for more. 2 of our bluebird boxes
have BB fledglings and one has Tree Swallows building a nest and mating
in a nearby tree. Above me as I was removing the dame's rocket I heard
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers. Got my binos to watch them and found they had a
nest in a dead Ash tree. This is the 3rd year in a row. Also saw a pair
of Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Had a group of Cedar Waxwings fly through.
They used to stop off and feed on the buckthorn berries. We removed the
buckthorn so they moved on.
