I have some back yard birds to share, seen on different days around the end of March. 

1. I have been seeing the Pileated Woodpecker at our wood pile. If the Pileated Woodpeckers are not at the wood pile I hear and see them in the forest next to our house.  This shot looks like a female and was taken from my dining room window. 

2. Below a Downy Woodpecker with a Pine Warbler, the Woodpecker again with a Cardinal and a backside of the Cardinal with a Red-breasted Nuthatch.  

3. The Pine Warbler is a summer bird, they breed in the forest next to our home. 

4. I am still seeing the Red-breasted Nuthatch, at least 3 two males and a female come daily as of March 20th.  

5. March 20th I was still seeing a few Pine Siskins at my feeders.  

6. A bad bad bird, sitting on our swing. Just kidding, I know they need to eat to survive. 

7. A Tufted Titmouse is one of my regular yard birds, seen year round.  

8. From one of our fire road walks, I believe this a Hermit Thrush. I see a reddish tail.  While walking the fire road, I could hear more Pine Warblers, I can hear the Eastern Phoebe and I was sure I heard a Northern Parula. 

9.  Previous years we were seeing 6-8 Great Blue Heron nests in our neighborhood, then last year something happened. They all left, I am not sure why. This year we are seeing a few herons returning to the trees that held a nest. I am hoping they are back and things are normal.  This photo below was taken from my driveway on March 11th, I am not sure if this is when they returned previous years.. 

I hope you enjoyed my birds as much as I do, my simple pleasure is bird watching.
