It was a chorus of birds this morning that I had to get out and see - in my own
backyard! I patiently waited and phished in the manner that I do and brought
out a lot of birds!
about 25 Palm Warblers singing and flying back and forth under the willow trees.
lots, I mean lots of Yellow Rumps
and I saw it! My climbing Black and White Warbler.
I then saw flying pretty low, a Red Tailed Hawk and then another one soared
near it above the willow trees. We have them here now because I'm thinking
it's because the DNR cut a lot of trees down at the Mitchell Park (Sharon
Wilson Center area) where there were about 5 Red Tailed nests.
Then I decided to take advantage of the deer path into the woods where I found
a perfectly large enough tree log that fell to sit upon. Here I sat and
quietly observed what was going on in the deeper thicker of the woods, and
hoping I wasn't going to leave the woods with ticks all over me, it was in here
that I had the most beautiful observation of a singing bird, Teacher Teacher, an
Oven Bird! It actually jumped just a little ways up the tree and came back
down just enough for me to get an excellent look at him, his speckled chest and
streaked head with the lighter orange in the middle. What a sight! I'm so
lucky!!
A House wren landed in a tree very close to me and sang and then decided to
looked into a hole in the tree when all of a sudden it's mate came and very
quickly they flew together, up and down and all around. I looked up trying to
see what was singing so loudly and then it stopped and that's when I saw Mrs.
Grosbeak taking seeds off a tree.
The last and most fun for me was when I heard this garbly goo and such coming
from bushes along our tennis court, I knew immediately what it was and started
to meow and sure enough there it was the Cat Bird!
I can't wait until late this afternoon to see what I have. I'm hoping my
Humming bird will show up, because he's already 4 days late!
Tweets so Sweet!
