What’s Next?… Spring!
Spring is starting to show its face, our weather has improved tremendously and daily temperatures are rising slowly but steadily. I’ve seen birds in my backyard that are more likely back from migration such as:
- Red-winged Blackbirds
- Brown-headed Cowbirds
- Common Grackles
- Eastern Bluebirds
- American Goldfinches
I can’t wait to see all the birds back and the flowers to show their colors and in general all plants and trees to be green with new leaves. These things will happen very soon!

Lovely photos HJ…especially like the white throated sparrow image, clear and vivid. ☺
Thank you Jet! We are beginning to have sunny and bright days, more light helps in photography for sharpness and deeper colors. 🙂
I thought that white throated sparrow was one of your best.
Thank you Susan! 🙂
Looks like I am agreeing with everyone else…nice shot of the White-throated Sparrow.
