So far May has started off with wonderful bird sightings right outside my windows.  I am a little behind sharing, these images are from the first week of May and they were all taken from my windows.  

For the first time in the 30+ years living here I saw the Red-headed Woodpecker in my yard. It was only for part of a day but I was able to snap away some photos. The Red-headed Woodpecker is a beauty. I believe now I have seen all of the Eastern North America Woodpeckers right in my back yard. 

Below a shot of the Red-headed Woodpecker on the suet feeder.

I was able to take a few good shots through my windows, below is the Red-headed Woodpecker on the deck railing. 

The Eastern Bluebirds have been seen going in and out of a birdhouse I have on my deck.  I hope their nesting is a success. 

Below are the female and male Rose-breasted Grosbeak.  They usually stop my yard during their migration north.  

Below is a female Downy Woodpecker waiting for it's turn at the feeders below, they are occupied by the male and female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. 

From my kitchen door, I noticed this Yellow-rumped Warbler high in the tree top. 

 

The House Wrens and the Carolina Chickadees have moved into the birdhouses. 

 

I do not have photos but I have heard many birds that have moved back into our local forest. Just from my yard, I hear the Ovenbirds, the Wood Thrush, American Redstart and the Scarlet Tanagers. Outside my front window ( the view from my exercise bike) I saw a few Magnolia Warblers, the male was a beauty. 

 I am also linking up to Anni's blog party found here I'd Rather B Birding   Anni always has some beautiful birds to be seen on her blog, check it out!
