No, I believe those are cliff swallows and Capistrano is their destination from Argentina. ;)

Haven't seen any Tree Swallows here yet!

Saw a male Blue Bird a few days ago!

The blue birds sure do look good.
Brenda saw some a few days ago. I have not been out front much yet this year. When I start the raking along side of the driveway I should see them.

A couple of Red-bellied woodpeckers are nesting in the bird boxes I built on the grandkids fort and swing.
They spent a couple days making the entry holes bigger.

I feed feral cats out back, and the birds come and collect the scraps. A cardinal pair just showed up, the male grabbed a piece of kibble, and gave it to his mate that was perched on a nearby stick.

A surprise this morning, the male Eastern Bluebird that's been here for a week or so, now has a mate!

Looks like SHE approves of the house the male had picked out!

Spent a few days at the camp, seen a few birds took pictures of some of them.

Not sure about this one, immature eagle perhaps?

I agree, that first pic has got to be a juvenile Bald Eagle!

We've got Hummingbirds coming to the feeders now, and I saw my first (of the year) Rose Breasted Grossbeak yesterday!

Most of the regulars are here now, but I still haven't seen a Baltimore Oriole!

Baltimore orioles are at my house. Brenda called me at work and asked where the feeders was. She had 4 at one time. A big deal for us. Last year they stayed all summer.

That explains their record in the AL East.

Beer, sunflower seeds, roast neef sandwiches and crabcakes are favored by Orioles.

Saw one of them immature eagles today hovering near the river bank and not far off the main road. I went slow because I know down in Maine there is a spot that them eagles have gotten hit by car traffic before.

Haven't seen them orioles here for years. Used to see them in the back yard. Also, I don't think the blue birds are staying this year. I never seen any female ones yet. The male was alone. Cats eat a lot of blue birds.

Ray;  We had an Oriole feeder here for a few years, but we never saw an Oriole feeding from it, just Hummingbirds!

I made a little holder that will hold 1/2 of an orange, cut crossways and they would feed from it, whenever they would be feeding, orange juice would be splattering everywhere!

I rebuilt our birdfeeding station this morning, and not ten minutes after hanging the feeders we got this visitor. Second time in my life to see one. An Indigo  Bunting.

We get them here, mostly later in the Summer!

The Scarlet Tanagers show up about that same time. I think they nest in the woods directly behind the back yard!

Scarlet tanagers are a rare sight up here to and very shy bird. We don't get the buntings up this way though. We barely have blue birds in my estimation. And this year is not looking good for the bluebirds.

It appears to me the grouse is in a white birch feeding on the catkins as grouse do. ;)

Now that you say it that sounds correct, it was just about dark but there is a birch behind the maple trees there.

Lots of color the last couple day.

I fed 12-15 blue jays here all winter and when the weather warms up they take off without a thank you. I'm cut'n back their rations next winter.  :D

I still have not heard the brown thrasher this year. He always goes to the big rock maple in the yard to announce his presence. So far nothing.
