carpingdiem, 25 days ago to Birding A normal spring day at the feeder (see ALT for IDs). in addition, Merlin identified a great crested flycatcher, a red eyed vireo, an American redstart and a Northern mockingbird close to the house, but no luck seeing them. #birding #birds #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #nature #HooserMast #woodpecker #cowbird #cardinal A female cowbird perches on the rough bark of a tree, blending in very well. A female cardinal plots her next flight down to the feeder.

carpingdiem, 3 months ago to Birds It was 73F/23C today and I went birding in short sleeves. In 2 days it will snow and then I will bird in snowboots (shrugs). Some birds that had left in the fall have returned and other birds are just passing through on their way to the north. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #nature #cranes #blackbird #cowbird #ducks This is a male brown headed cowbird. He has a black body with a blueish tint and a dark brown head. Cowbirds lay their eggs in other birds' nests and their young are raised by non-cowbirds. So how do baby cowbirds know they are cowbirds? The sandhill cranes are just passing through on their way to their breeding grounds in the north. Hundreds of them flew over my house today. Many species of duck are making their way north to breed. Clockwise from upper left: Northern shovelers; red head ducks and red breasted mergansers; green teal and gadwalls.
