And at 7:30 PM, this little guy showed up - first of the year! I hope he comes back tomorrow for an actual sip.
At the Nest Improvement store.
Two nights ago, this beauty made a comeback. The camera was not positioned right but I still thought it was fun to see :D It always seems to show up in April, so hopefully there will be more sightings. We certainly have enough rodents for it.
Happy spring greetings! This is a video from 20 minutes ago. Sigh.
Today, about a week earlier than in the last couple of years, the Baltimore Orioles have returned. I hear that people are also seeing Rosebreasted Grosbeaks, Warblers and Hummingbirds, but they have not come here so far. Happy Spring, everyone!
It’s no secret that I love the Grackles, and today they delivered quite the show :D Two males are competing for a female. It is a bit longer but worth it, I promise. Sound on!
I am always looking for feeder solutions that work well with the cameras to keep things fun and interesting. This feeder was sent to me from I Love Birds (@natureanywhere on FB) to try out. I was intrigued because one of my favorites has been discontinued, and I have to say I really like this one. It looks pretty, has a good size and a clever solution to take it off for cleaning (I will post a separate wvideo showing that). This was when I first set it up, in the spot where the Oriole feeder was before. They were a bit confused
They also have two cool window feeders, one for hummingbirds and one for seeds. If you have questions for them, check out their website or FB page
Finch Family at the Hopper feeder - yeah, that’s right. Babies are here. It’s been very mild the last month or so.

Common Grackle - They’re Baaaack. Harbingers of spring, the first one this year showed up March 26th, about the time they have arrived the past five years, looking sleek, iridescent, and ready for the mating game. There was one for 3 days, and then by yesterday a family had gathered. We expect hundreds to arrive by April. A lot of folks don’t care for these guys, but I love their goofiness.

Male Northern Flicker - RedShafted. This one is shy with people, but he is a force when a squirrel tries to move in too close.

The Eurasian Collared Dove is an invasive species to the US. I first noticed them in Lakewood, CO about 8 years ago. We moved to Fort Collins in 2016, and the ECDs were here, too. These are here year round, but there are periods where I don’t see them, presumably when they are raising young. We had a pair build a nest that was predated a couple of years ago, and they have not tried here again.
