Neighborhood Breeding Birds II

I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes

This is my second post on my neighborhood breeding birds, the first post Neighborhood-breeding-birds included the Northern Parula, Scarlet Tanager, Great Crested Flycatcher and the Indigo Bunting.

I have three more birds that are breeding birds in my neighborhood. They are the Pine Warbler, the Ovenbird and the Acadian Flycatcher. I have seen the Pine Warbler visit my yard and feeders many times over the years.

Above the Pine Warbler in my weeping cherry tree. The Pine Warbler is a regular in my yard, here is a post I did back in Jan 2013 that included a Pine Warbler visiting in the winter  Happy-New-Year 2013

This is the male Pine Warbler.

The Pine Warbler has a pretty song.

I have shots showing the front and above a nice shot of the side of the Pine Warbler.

This is one of my previous post that included the Ovenbird Happy Earth day

 The Ovenbird shots were taken on a wet morning, while out walking I could hear the Ovenbird with its loud song off the fireroad. They have a thin black bordered orange crown, which is shown above.

The Acadian Flycatcher is another breeding bird in my neighborhood. They are frequently heard while I am out on my walks on the fireroad. Here is one of my first post on the Acadian flycatcher, tanager walk. 

I hope you enjoyed my Wild Birds this week. I feel lucky to see these wonderful birds in my yard and neighborhood.

Neighborhood breeding birds

I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes

I thought would show some of the breeding birds seen in my neighborhood. Most of these shots were taken in my backyard and they breed in the woods located on the side of my house and across the street in front of my house.

The Northern Parula seen in my yard and during a previous year one has been seen  tapping at my front windows. I guess trying to fight off a competitor. The Northern Parula builds a pendulum nest and lays 3-7 eggs.

This is a male Northern Parula, they have a pretty sound commonly heard thru-out the woods next to my house.

This is a shot of the back of a Scarlet Tanager, surprisingly seen at my feeder. I did not know they would eat seeds. They eat insects and fruit. The Scarlet Tanager breeds in a large forested area, their nest is built on a horizontal tree branch.

Above is the Scarlet Tanager seen perched in my weeping cherry tree. They are nesting in the woods next to my house, high up in the tree tops. The habitat is threatened due to more forest defragmentation. A solid tree canopy is preferred by the breeding Scarlet Tanager.

This is the Great-crested Flycatcher also seen in my weeping cherry tree. This flycatcher has a bright yellow belly.

The Great Crested Flycatcher breeds in a mixed forest and nest in a cavity of a tree. They will fill their nest with leaves, hair, trash and paper. I have seen them collecting Goldie Girl's hair my backyard.

This is the Indigo Bunting, a beautiful color blue and also a breeder bird for the neighborhood. The male displays this pretty bright blue to attract the females during the breeding season. They nest in dense shrubs or low trees. The female cares for the 1-4  eggs alone.

Above is the male Indigo Bunting perched on my weeping cherry tree. I am lucky to live in an area that attracts so many birds. The watershed and reservoir is is like my very own birdie hotspot. I just hope they do not come along and cut down more trees in the watershed property. The forest here is a great habitat for the birds.
