Something interesting finally happened during a regular season baseball game lol

Thanks! Looking forward to getting some more shots like this over the next few weeks with the blossoming trees

Very sweet!

The return of migratory birds like the White-Crowned Sparrow will be met with spring flowers!

I am in mid Michigan. I usually get the first one right at the end of April and then the rest in early May, so it's a bit early still. But there are a couple that have already shown up in the state, so better to be ready lol.

Get your oranges and grape jelly ready, the Baltimore Orioles are almost here!

A male eastern towhee perched on a branch with light rain falling around it.

Normally, Eastern Towhees tend to stay on the ground or in the brush, so I was ecstatic when a male decided to jump up on the feeder for me!

A northern house wren perched on the edge of a branch.

Hoping that the soon to be returning Northern House Wrens decide to make another nest in the yard again this summer.

A Carolina wren perched on top of a branch.

Sometimes it seems like if there is a Carolina Wren within a kilometre of you, you can hear it lol.

A ruby-crowned kinglet perched in a tree branch.

Ruby-crowned Kinglets have just arrived and will be moving around constantly until they head even further north lol.

A dark-eyed junco perched on top of a branch.

Dark-eyed Juncos have increased in numbers in my backyard which probably means they are all about to migrate back north soon.

Good lord that’s such a cartoonishly awful response.

A pied-billed grebe floating on a calm pond.

Pied-billed Grebes are waterfowl that don’t immediately fly away when I get within 400 feet of them lol.

Northern Flickers have returned and are spending time wandering on the ground for food.

If only it were that easy to get rid of outdoor cats…..

Thank you!

A golden-crowned kinglet perched in a tree with its golden crown being flashed.

It’s kinglet season! Golden-crowned Kinglets aren’t known for sitting still, but sometimes they hold for just long enough.

Evergreen statement! Especially true lately though.

A brown creeper climbing up the side of a tree.

Brown Creepers are so well camouflaged, my camera’s animal detector auto focus usually struggles to lock onto them!

Seeing a Pileated Woodpecker is a special treat!

Get off twitter. It’s a hell site

A fox sparrow perched on top of a bramble of twigs.

The bird of the early spring has undoubtedly been the Fox Sparrow. I have been seeing these guys all over the place even if they don’t leave the brush all that often lol.

A male pine grosbeak resting in an evergreen tree.

With winter finally moving on, it will be a while before I have more -18C days with Pine Grosbeaks.

Thank you!

Get excited! If you squint, you can see that the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are starting to move north. They will be here soon!
