Tree swallow in the rain.

Image is a bird with metallic blue head and, um, shoulders, dark grey wings, white chin and underparts. The bird is on a piece of barbed wire, looking dramatically to its left against a light grey sky.

Hmm, wonder why it went so quiet in the yard? Ah, I see.

Two days in a row now that Merlin has heard the Red Crossbill so I guess our visitors really have arrived. 🪶 #NSbirds
Image is part of a screenshot from the Merlin bird identification app showing that it has detected a Swamp Sparrow, a Red Crossbill, a Northern Flicker and a Dark-eyed Junco.

The birds shout all day and the spring peepers peep, the coyotes howl and various anonymous creatures screech-fight all night. It’s spring in the country and everybody’s worked up. 🪶 #NSbirds
Two Canada Geese (very large light brown birds with long black necks and white chinstraps) stand in a brownish green field contemplating spring.

No spring migrants in my yard yet, but all the regulars are out there yelling their heads off all day long, including this Bald Eagle. 🪶 #NSbirds

Oh dear. I think we’re down one mourning dove.

🪶 #NSbirds
Against a snowy background, a hawk (maybe a Cooper’s hawk, but I’m not sure) with dark brown wings and back and reddish-brown and white chest and leg feathers stands on the bloody remains of a light grey mourning dove.

I’m trying to not overdo the hawk photos, but this one is just such a good poser.

I find starlings harder to appreciate when there are five hundred of them on the lawn all yelling their heads off, but taken individually, they sure are beautiful. 🪶 #birds #NSbirds

Glen says good day everyone, happy Friday, he hopes you are well, and not to worry about fitting in an afternoon-long nap today because he's going to do it for you.

I got caught admiring bird bums.

I can’t usually provide #ProofOfCat because I don’t have one, but two of my three grandcats are here this week and can maybe lend me temporary legitimacy.

Found this in the Little Free Library this morning. Seems like it would be a good day for it.

The sky is being very dramatic at the moment.

Peeping Tom alert: I was reading when I got the feeling I was being watched so I turned to look over my left shoulder and caught the culprit. (Please forgive the photo hastily snapped through a dirty window.) 🪶 #birds #NSbirds
A chickadee (small bird with a black cap, black beak, pale greyish underbelly and dark grey feet) sits on a cedar branch with its head tilted to keep an eye on me.

When your stupid people want to go for a stupid walk on a stupid beach and you’re fourteen-and-a-half years old and five pounds and hate beaches and hate walking, but hate being left home alone even more.

I’m not sure what this starling was holding in its beak, but it stood on the deck railing for quite a while, showing it off. 🪶 #birds #NSbirds

Thank you to whatever bug livened up my homegrown watermelon with these art installations. That is some stellar circle-making.

Our Head of Security is somewhat less effective on sunny days.
