Welcome Visitors Return

Spring has finally arrived. Last Friday I was excited to see a Rose-breasted Grossbeak land on my bird feeder. The Grossbeak was followed a few days later by the return of the Baltimore Orioles. I have seen as many as three at a time this year. Last, not a sign of spring but fun nonetheless, we have seen a wild Turkey in the early morning the past few days. Yesterday they were all visiting at the same time so I tried to take some pictures.












That's the grossbeak on the tray feeder and the oriole on the suet.
(Hint: click on the pictures for a slightly better view.)

While I am not usually a fan of Andrew Bird (get it the tie in?), but he too has been welcome since I have been playing one song from his latest record nearly non-stop. Check it out. Andrew Bird - "Imitosis"

Hooray for the return of your winged friends!

And Andrew Bird (yes, nice tie-in)... do I sense a shift in your opinion of the Righteous Babe artists?

A turkey? That's so cool.

Do you think he's 80 proof or 100 proof?

Great bird pics! I'm so jealous of your wider variety.

I'm glad you liked at least one of the Andrew Bird songs--"Imitosis" is my favorite too, my introduction to him was "My Skin Is" and I love that one as well. An acquired taste, but not for everyone.He is no longer with Righteous Babe.
