This Mourning Dove briefly perched on a log next to a Mayapple and two red trilliums just bast bloom, and in front of the bed of sweet woodruff.
Perched.
Month: May 2024
A crowd.
Three Rose-breasted Grosbeaks contested space at a feeder this afternoon. I have never seen more than one at a time this year as well as past years.
Criss-crossed.
Morning sky ablaze and criss-crossed.
First sighting ever.
I was puzzled by this bird because it certainly wasn’t a Downy Woodpecker or a Red-bellied Woodpecker. After visiting allaboutbirds.org and consulting my Sibley bird guide, it seems this was my first sighting ever of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, a female, an infrequent (as best) feeder visitor. That was two weeks ago and I haven’t seen it since.
Favourite.
The Forget-me-not is one of my favourite flowers. Our yard has several clumps which reseed every year and have for years.
Down on its level.
It is spring and the garden is abloom, including the trilliums. I got down on its level to photograph the Red Trillium.
