The osprey did build a small mansion of a nest across the river at the top of a tall tree and while distant we can still watch them! You can just see the small brown smudge below.
But I have a telephoto!
We have also had the migration birds come swiftly through before heading up north and I was able to catch a few photos of those! (Red-breasted Mergansers).
They look like the Steven Tyler version of the musical world.
I failed to clean out the birdhouses last month and now am afraid to try to open any, but we do have bluebirds checking out the area and they are in their best colors right now.
Next post, the woodpeckers!
Love the colours of the bluebird. The Osprey aren’t back here yet. Gotta love the bed heads too.
ReplyDeletewe have some barn swallows nesting across the street at the shop and in the garage I found an abandoned (I think, haven't seen the little wrens since I put up the blue tarp to protect the tropicals in the garage from the deep freeze) wren nest with four little eggs.
