Stumbled across.

While on a regular walk/survey of my work site, I stumbled across this nest, possibly constructed by House Finches, with a single egg. It was tucked into an angle several feet off the ground where two pieces of structural steel met. I quickly left after taking this photo.

Tolerated.

Lengthening daylight hours and somewhat warmer temperatures have brought waterfowl back to the spray field at my workplace. Nesting behaviour hasn’t quite yet begun.

This Mute Swan, which species can be quite aggressive, tolerated me being about ten meters away. I moved on after taking this photo.

First visit.

I happened to be sitting on the deck when this Baltimore Oriole made its first visit of the season to my backyard hummingbird feeder, which it prefers to the larger oriole feeder.
