Let the BirdCam Parade Begin

As promised in the last post, I slogged through thousands of BirdCam images to try and find something interesting. Going to spread them out for a while. These images begin in early April and go through recent days. A bunch of images. Another reason the spread them out for shorter posts.

So, lets go back into April. Still had some migrants around, including the Indigo Bunting and a few American Goldfinches.

A couple days later the secretive Gray Catbird even made an appearance.

I do really enjoy this Common Grackle pose even though there were several. This one just looks pretty nice.

Feeling like the Blue Jay family should be bringing in the young ones by now but nothing yet.

Most of the discarded photos are of Mourning Doves and Gray Squirrels but I have to keep a few.

Red-winged Blackbirds chicks must be hatching because the adults only start coming to our feeders when they have more mouthes to feed. This pretty female stopped by the frog feeder.

Northern Cardinals should also be nesting though I don't know exactly where this year.

Finally, White-winged Doves are back! Last year we saw a chick that confirmed breeding in the neighborhood for the first time. We wait and see if this year is a success, too.
