Happy Monday everyone!
We are doing good here. I hope everyone is doing well, healthy and happy! Things are as normal as they can be in this situation. I have my yard birds to help entertain me..
The Great Blue Herons seem to be doing well, I am not sure how many nests we have in our neighborhood. Maybe 6-8 herons nest, more could be more hidden.
The Hairy Woodpeckers enjoy the suet feeders. I also am seeing the Red-bellied Woodpecker, Downy Woodpecker and a Northern Flicker in my yard and at my feeders.
My winter birds are still here and I am seeing a few of my summer birds. I have a few Dark-eyed Juncos, White-throated Sparrow, the Chipping Sparrow has returned and I am seeing the Pine Warbler often at my suet feeders.
I am still seeing Dark-eyed Juncos as of 3/25/20
Resident Carolina Chickadee..
Local Great Blue Herons on nest.
Leucistic Song Sparrow was seen on my deck.
On left the winter White-throated Sparrow and on the right the spring/summer Chipping Sparrow seen together on 3/22/20
I am happy with the variety of birds I can see from my deck and windows. BTW, all these photos are from my windows except for the GB Herons which were seen from the local fire road. It is the opposite view of the heron's nest I see from our yard.

Hello Eileen,
It's nice to see "your" birds. The Dark-eyed Junco are so beautiful.
Stay safe and take care!
Complimenti per queste splendide fotografie.
Sei proprio fortunata a poter godere di queste meraviglie dalla finestra di casa.
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful series of photos of the birds.
The first photo of the heron is really beautiful.
Be careful and stay healthy.
Best regards Irma

Another delight of feathers from you Eileen - being incarcerated as we are here, I have had no photo ops in quite a while and again for the foreseeable future. Our blogging network will be the uplift needed! YAM xx
Espectacular estas fotografia.
Um abraço e boa semana.

Hello Eileen - oh yes where would we be without the little (and large) birds of the world to entertain us! What a magnificent range you have - our balcony sunbirds are a delight, thanks for your visit!
Have a great week!

Our herons have reoccupied the heronry and there is lots of noise and activity. It's good to see them back for another year.
Hello Eileen,
Nice to see all these visitores of your garden. Nice pictures.
It's a strange time at this moment to live with these restrictions.
Greetings, Marco
It's good to hear you're doing OK Eileen. Us birdwatchers have something that we care deeply about in these difficult times and it is important to remember that we will come out of this mess stronger and more determined. You are very fortunate to have so many species in your back yard and the Great Blue herons so visible from your house. Nice work. Stay safe.
Hello Eileen,
you are in excellent company!
I will pick the Dark-eyed Junco as my fav this time.
All the best for the new week ahead!
Like you, we still are having winter birds hanging around (and feeding), but also spring ones are coming in. Morning birdsong is LOUD! Love the blue herons.
...nature is the one thing that makes our world livable at the moment.
You do take the most wonderful photos!! The heron looks so regal as purveyor of his domain. Thank you and stay well, my friend. Have a g rains week!
😀
Lovely, lovely birds today Eileen. To have nests so close by ... onky for the prvileged few. That unique sparrow is quite a sighting!
Wonderful to see Great Blue Herons nesting...you'll get to see the whole nesting season, won't you? I'm doing well, and enjoy your comments over on my blog!
Hi Eileen,
Here we will be well within the possible!
It is wonderful to see all these birds in your yard!
They help you spend your days better.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Have a nice week.
Ailime
Great shot of the Great Blue Heron in the first pic. Have a lovely week.
What a joy to be able to see so many birds from your window. Stay safe :)
The Herons really are something to see! We need to pay more attention to where they may be nesting at one on the trail where we see them the most. I'm watching birds on our feeders this morning too. A little House Finch is there right now! Take care of yourself my friend and stay healthy!
Funny how chipping sparrows and their relatives don't visit feeders here.
Hello, Hope you are doing well.
Lovely birds. Thanks for the post.
Take care.
the first photo of the heron is just so beautiful. my favorite Bird of Today is that dark eyed Junco. he is adorable and love his colors
That first heron shot is wonderful! And I love the one of the chickadee in flight...
I love sparrows but all I ever see are the Song Sparrows.
Love the junco and the last photo with the little bird checking out the bigger bird's eating ~ Great feathered friends photos ~
Be Well,

Seeing so many herons is a treat, Eileen!
Beautiful nature posts :)
I especially love the Heron images Eileen. Hope you are keeping well, please keep safe
Eileen, glad all is well! You have such a wonderful nature show of birds right outside your windows! That heron photo is gorgeous. We have more squirrels than birds in our yard and they are also entertaining to watch as they scamper around looking for food everyday.
The Herons are gorgeous. Beautiful photos, Eileen.
Take care stay safe and well. Have a wonderful new week!
What a blessing to be able to see these birds from your windows. Glad things are going well for you these days! Have a wonderful week.
Great Blue Herons are such interesting birds, and you cannot mistake them when they are calling. Good news, I finally got some critter pictures for Saturday. After all our walks in the forests and parks we saw two deer right here in the city next to our condo. They were far away, but at least I got a shot before the ran away. - Margy
Beautiful photos, Eileen. I saw my first Cowbirds at my feeders this morning. Deadbeat parents, I think!
You have the best bird photos. Stay safe and keep on taking and posting great photographs.
You are fortunate to have such a range of birds to see from your window.
I think the herons are neat sitting up in trees like shags building nests, hope you are all good there, stay safe.
Not much happening down here, the whole country is in total lockdown apart from essential services. The heron's nest, what a feat to build that up there, and make it big enough for mum and babies later on.
How nice that you have so many heron nests around you. I only see the one heron around here once in a while.
Great photos.
There is a lot of life right outside our back door and your post highlights that perfectly. It's nice to see the overlap of the winter and summer birds.
Your photo's are always so beautiful, Eileen. I thank you for sharing with us. :)
Stay well.
xoxo
Nice set of pictures - I think you have more birds in your backyard than I do - so its nice to see them.
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Your windows are the best!
so lucky you are to have so many birds visiting your yard. We only have a few varieties. Take care and enjoy the outdoors as much as you can. Spring must be on the way for you. Happy days.
Eileen the herons are truly spectacular. It still blows my mind that they live in your neighborhood. I keep hoping for more spring birds at our feeders, but they are slow in coming. Maybe it's because it snowed again today! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
Wow - what fabulous bird shots!
You always share wonderful bird photos. I enjoyed a lot. Take care, stay well!
what a great variety of birds! Your photos are beautiful, specially the first shot of the heron
I am happy to see your woodpecker photo...pretty.

Here comes my favorite herons perching on trees! I'm always so amazed by them Eileen! I really hope I can see them someday in person. But those cute little sparrows, we have a lot of those here in the Philippines :) We call them "Maya" birds. Stay Safe Eileen and thanks for always keeping us close to nature and its flying citizens!

Hi, Eileen. Birds were chirping outside the window while I was looking at your photos. It got me wondering what kind of birds were out there. Hidden herons in the neighborhood would make for a cute story, don't you think? :-) Take care and enjoy!
you are still blogging ... hope u r well with all that is going on. take care and as always i really enjoy your views. byeee. ( ;
Your heron takes my breath away. I haven't seen Harry yet this year. Soon, I hope!
Hi Eileen! There is a lot of nest building going on right now - And what a rare and wonderful treat for you to have the herings around! We'll have to settle for the Eastern Phoebe's who have built a nest above our garage door, and I'm thrilled!! :-)
Very nice pictures Eileen.. Take care...
the pictures of the herons today are really special eileen, fantastic to say the least!! i have seen very few this winter and i suppose the egrets will be back soon!!! i never saw any junco's this winter, not even one and i missed them so much!!
i am seeing a lot of woodpeckers but i have not seen any flickers. another one i love, and see occasionally, but not in 2020!!! my birds are keeping me entertained, but it's been so cloudy and rainy here for pictures. the sun is suppose to come out today!! stay safe and well eileen, we are so lucky to have this hobby that we can enjoy from home!!!
Lovely capture of birds and glad you enjoy bird watching from your deck and walk into woods. Loved the blue heron mosic!
Life is same as everywhere and we're officially lockdown till April 14 and there's lot chance of extending as the number of covid cases continue to rise.
Take care
Not much going on in my world. We stay home and read and garden and even talk to each other---oh my!
Stay safe

Great post, loved all the birds. Enjoy the rest of your week and in good health for many to come :)
Está praticamente, em plena natureza, e sem sair de casa, Eileen! Que maravilha!
Adorei todas as fotos, mas fiquei com um especial fascínio pelas fotos da garça real! Uma ave lindíssima! Distinta e elegante! Aqui pousam algumas garças brancas, em determinadas alturas do ano... no mês passado vi algumas... agora creio que só se deixarão ver de novo, lá para Outubro, por estes lados!...
Beijinhos! Votos de um excelente domingo para todos... tão bom, quanto as actuais circunstâncias o permitam!
Tudo de bom, por aí!
Ana
