From the recent visit to the farthest bog where the beavers swim we caught this warbler, or something else, on the trail.

Grackle by the bog
Over by the bog near the beaver’s den we found this grackle-we-think. The bird is wandering along the trail now covered by water backed up by beaver damming.
Woodpecker
This is one of our regulars. Most likely a male hairy woodpecker based on a the red crown and beak, but we have seen downy woodpeckers here also.
Robin from the backyard
We had a good week for birding close to home. Robins have finally arrived to look for food in the backyard.

Spring woodpecker 2
Or a yellow-bellied sapsucker?

Perhaps a hairy woodpecker?
Great egret
After stopping by the ice pond the previous day, a solo great egret decided to return again when I was walking by.
