It is nearly time to put feeders away. The bears will be on the move soon. This is what happens in May. Mating season and the 2-year-olds are sent to find their own territory.
I am enjoying birding while we can. This red-bellied woodpecker was hanging about. It was tricky!
Sheesh!
It will have to suffice!
I've been noticing other action. I watched a red-winged blackbird land on #75's nets box, and quickly fly away. I'll bet he is in there and not willing to share.
Another moment in time, I spotted two blue jays. They'd both gotten seeds from the feeder, then landed in the chestnut tree. The one begged food from the other. And he fed her. It's the twitterpated season!

At least there is other bird food -- but pity to have to take them down. Still, I would too!
I loved seeing your feathered visitors today. Listening to a chain saw is somewhat better than a mosquito however!

Nature's getting busy! YAM xx
It's so fun to watch the birds, not so easy to snag photos of them. I think you did great. I forgot you put everything away before the bears start showing up, but that makes sense.
We don't have many birds around yet. It is cold again today for them. Great shots of the woodpecker.
The birds are so pretty. Bears, oh my. I've only ever seen a black bear in the wild once.
In suburbia we don’t put the feeders away on account of birds, but raccoons can do their share of damage.
Lovely to see these birds.
Happy April wishes.
All the best Jan
They return. Life returns.
There's lot to see out there. You make sure that you're where you can see things.
Wow, great to have the woodpecker. I have never been able to get a photo of one; they land, chomp and disappear. But, yesterday we had a flock of at least thirty red winged blackbirds. Fun. I will leave our feeders as long as I dare.
