Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend. Remember and honor our heroes!

We have been having a cooler spring, some windy cloudy days. Hubby and I still try to take our daily walks with the grand-dogs and do some birding.  

1. On April 25th hubby and I took our walk at a local park called Hashawha. I have posted about this park numerous times. The mosaic show some of the birds we saw on our latest walk. 

Top row is the Turkey Vulture, Pileated Woodpecker, American Robin and a Goldfinch. Bottom row, Tree Swallows, Red-winged Blackbird, Canada Geese and a female Cardinal. 

2. The American Robin seem to be a common sight lately. They are everywhere.  

3. The Tree Swallows were doing their thing, catching bugs around the Hashawha Lake. 

4. I captured this Red-winged Blackbird singing, they are common birds seen here. I think they like the wetland area around the Hashawha Lake. 

5. The Northern Parula are breeders in my area, I heard and saw this male Northern Parula in a Redbud tree. 

6.  Northern Parula, singing a happy song.  A male Northern Parula is showing off the beautiful colors around it's throat. 

6. April 25-27th, I have been enjoying my Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. It is great to see them return to my yard each spring. 

The male Hummingbird has a beautiful ruby jewel necklace. 

7.  April 27th, a female Bluebird was checking out my yard and birdhouses, all our plants are looking pretty, there is Creeping Phlox near my metal Moose and little pond, a Gray Catbird, Bleeding Heart, Pink Dogwood and Pink Azaleas. 

8. April 30th , we have been enjoying our walks to the lake with the dogs. One day we spooked a Green Heron that was in a cove area, the birds are just singing like crazy now. I am hearing the Pine Warbler, Northern Parula, Ovenbirds, Wood Thrush, Various woodpeckers, Catbirds and other resident birds. We are blessed to have all this right here in our neighborhood.
