Yard Birds

Today, we saw our Baltimore Oriole for the first time this spring. (These pictures are from last year.) Brother B. was showing us his pictures of birds yesterday, and he had already seen their Oriole. They even have cardinals! We started counting up the birds we have seen from our window (most of them today) and came up with an impressive list. Husband learned his birds from his mother, and has taught us all to look for and listen to them too. Birds are some of our favorite things.

We counted goldfinches (red and yellow), bluejays, thrush, oriole, wren, pigeon, mourning dove, cowbirds, sparrows, red-headed woodpeckers, turkey buzzards, pheasants, redwinged black birds, hawks, owls, blackbirds, robins, barn swallows
