Can you hear me now?
One of our local chippers found his way into the feeder and it looks like his cheeks are going to explode.
I like the way he's holding on with his left "hand".

DUNLIN
A small flock - 50 birds- of dunlin were feeding beside the road at a marsh just outside of Rondeau Provincial Park.
The kept on feeding and just ignored the bird watchers.
This marsh was all phragmities last. year. A removal experiment was started in the fall and so far wildlife has been returning. Egrets, GBH, Shovelers, osprey and now dunlin are being seen where there was nothing before.

Who'll stop the rain?
It's been raining for days.
You make food appear but you let it rain on my parade.

Magnolia Warbler
Spring migration brings such beautiful birds through our area.
They can be hard to see and you are subject to "warbler neck".
Literally a pain in the neck from looking up at the tops of trees.

Colour in motion
This Rose Breasted Grosbeak was trying to get seeds from one of our feeders.
The landing area was to small so he did his humming grosbeak act.

Orchard oriole
Thie orchard oriole has been frequenting our yard.
Unusual for us, we seldom see an orchard. Lots of Baltimores.
Last night we had orchard and baltimore orioles on the feeder along with red bellied and red headed woodpeckers and a few male goldfinchres for good measure. The colour bouquet was amazing.

Northern water thrush
He's a little Skulker, likes still water and eats bugs. Yummy.
Migration is in full swing. There have been 22 warbler species in the park along with various shore birds, gulls and terns, sparrows, oriloes and much more
If you live near Rondeau this would be a good weekend to visit.

First photo
Got a new camera and this was the first usuable shot. Several blurry ones first, I didn't set it to auto focus.
