Hi All!

Its been a while since Ive been here.. not what I had planned, but sometimes we have to overcome obstacles in life that come are way. And with that lets put some pics up on here!

Thank you Margaret for being my friend!

Well I didn't have a good spring as far as warbler's go but I did get a new warbler...a female Cerulean...but her pic was only good for an Id...and that gives me 27 warblers on my list. I guess what I,m going to do with this thread is post pics of my birds but in no particular order.
In May it rained here everyday but 5 days so like I said not the best spring.

I'll start off with a couple Bald Eagle shots.

Looking serious....

This year the backyard has had some visitors that normally only stay for about a week...but as of today I,m still getting visits from Baltimore Orioles.

Adding Oranges this year has kept them around and they drink from the hummer feeder also.

another Yellow Warbler shot...they are very abundant here...can hear and see them just about anywhere.
