A phoebe for the garage

This eastern phoebe spent most of the weekend trying to build a nest on a light fixture in the garage.

Another warbler

Last weekend on a trip to the no-name pond resulted in our catching sight of a variety of smaller species like the warblers. We think this is a palm warbler even though the characteristic brown streaks on the belly are missing.

Warbler at the pond

Along the shore at the no-name pond, several warblers flew around the trees at the shoreline. Here is a male yellow-rumped warbler – we think.

A favorite spot for lunch

We saw a pair of deer several times during this mid-week patrol over to the far bog.

Spring beaver

Our mid-week patrol over to the far bog was eventful. Besides confirming the beavers are still in the area, we saw two young deer in the nearby field and red-wing black-birds.

Chickadee at the front door

Last week we were enjoying a busy group of chickadees over at the far bog. At one point we noticed several flying to and fro from a tree stump. We discovered their condo! In an earlier post this week you saw one of them taking wood shavings out of the nest.
