I've been slacking on getting stuff up on the blog because it's spring, we have the house and have taken on so many DIY type projects. Tim is building a fence to make our yard more private, I have been chiseling away at our bland lawn of patchy grass and other small weeds and transforming it into a lawn of native and pollinator-friendly plants.
So, because of that, here are some birds at Marine Park's Salt Marsh Nature Center last week!
 |
| Mourning dove in the morning sun. |
 |
| These crows brought this harrier right over head! I never had a harrier come so close, legit, like 5 feet over head as the crows gave chase. |
 |
| Showing male plumage. |
 |
| There is someone in there... So I kept still and waited. |
 |
| Hello, Killdeer! |
 |
| Just took a seat for a few. |
 |
| Osprey is on the nest... perhaps on eggs by now. |
 |
| I wonder what he is thinking about... |
 |
| Probably about hitting those notes just right. |
 |
| Literally, everyone is singing-- even this Northern Flicker. Who even let me look at it! |
 |
| Normally the moment you make eye contact with a flicker, they are off! |
 |
| A young red tail uses the unoccupied osprey playtorm to survey the area. |
 |
| A female American wigeon, looking especially lovely on a spring day. |
