This one red Cardinal who we call Red, and his wife, Birdie, have been hanging around our yard quite a bit lately. I love it! They must like our birdseed. I’ve always loved Cardinals. Their red coloring is so vivid.
Red was just hanging out and having a drink at our bird bath. Beautiful, don’t you think?
The Bluebirds having been flying in and out of the birdhouse right by our bedroom window the past couple of days. How cool is that! Last year we had two Bluebird families that made nests and then had their young there. It was so much fun to watch! The babies were adorable!
Keeping our fingers crossed that they move in and give us another treat this year!
I love to see the Buffleheads swimming about in the winter here on Cape Cod. They are so distinct with their black and white coloring. I’ve seen many of them at Boat Meadow Creek and at Rock Harbor. They are pretty skittish if they see you or hear you, so it is easier to take a photograph at Rock Harbor where they are further away and there’s some noise about.
This male was flapping his wings as the 2 females swam nearby. There is such a difference between the males and females.
Have you ever seen a Bufflehead? Cool-looking, don’t you think?
It was a gorgeous day for a nice hike at Fort Hill. It was sunny with temps in the 40s but little wind. We had just hiked up to the overlook when this seagull looked as if it was posing on the map of the National Seashore with Nauset Marsh and then Coast Guard Station way in the background.
Beautiful, don’t you think?
This Song Sparrow was singing away high up in the tree as if he is welcoming spring and the warmer weather, hopefully to come soon. 🙂
We’ve had several Song Sparrows at our feeders the past few weeks. It is such a joy to wake up to their beautiful song outside our bedroom window.
Have you heard the Song Sparrow yet this spring?
