1. May 9th, seeing the bluebirds in my yard this season just makes me happy. I hope to see their babies!
"The bluebird carries the sky on his back."
The bluebird is a symbol of hope, happiness and joy.
2. May 10th, in the backyard a Bluebird and a Mourning Dove are having a conversation.
3. May 10, we took our walk on another local fire road, wildflowers Fleabane and I am not sure what the tiny yellow wildflowers are called.
I am hearing the Great-crested Flycatcher calling while on our walks and from my bird yard. They are brownish upper parts and yellowish underparts and a bushy crest.
4. May 11th, Some blooms from our yard, the Columbine, Siberian Iris, Bluebird sitting in Pine tree and I am not sure if the plant bottom right is called Spiderwort?
Images from our fire road walk are of Miney, Bigleaf Magnolia bloom, and one of the Pink Lady Slippers.
May 11th backyard birds captured by my Merlin app.
The House Wren is one of my loudest yard birds, a small bird only a little over 4 inches. This wren is brown with pale to white underparts.
5. May 12th, my backyard we have the Siberian Irises blooming, I saw a cute bunny, our Rhododendrons are looking beautiful.
6. May 12th, the Worm-eating Warbler is a drab looking warbler with black and buffy stripes on its head. I have been hearing this bird calling from off the local fire road when I am walking Miney.
7. May 12th, I see and hear the Blue Jays in my yard and often on the fire road while we are out walking Miney.
8. Flashback from last year May 2024, the Scarlet Tanagers have returned to Prettyboy Watershed and my back yard. The male Scarlet Tanager is a lovely color red with dark wings. During mating/breeding season I hear these birds singing while I am out walking Miney on our local fire roads.
Another Flashback to Aug 2023, a beautiful closeup of the Scarlet Tanager on the trail at Shenandoah Nat'l Park.
Bonus, July 3rd is my granddaughter Sophie's 1st birthday.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet Sophie.
