Indigo Bunting! In the swamp edges!
Not a new bird, but the first time we've seen one on this side of the continent, so still quite exciting.

After returning home from a few days away I was delighted to find:

* the first baby hummingbird at the feederIt’s a good day.

And this grackle likes to soak the peanut in the birdbath to eat.

The grackle caught the peanut I tossed toward her in mid air!!! That was impressive.
Other times, she’s the fastest among other birds to run and grab the peanut. Also impressive.

The gray catbird now comes to the littlebirds’ peanut basket to grab a nut! 🥜🐦🧡
The basket is made of recycled plastic produce bags from supermarkets.♻️

Oh, I forgot to tell you that I sew a downy woodpecker pecking the bottom of the littlebirds’ peanut basket for crumbs. Too bad I couldn’t get my phone out in time. I refilled the little basket right after.
In case you haven’t seen my crocheted recycled-plastic-bag littlebirds’ peanut basket, here’s a recent Loops video with various urban wildlife. https://loops.video/v/gT2TAsQrFA

My commute to work is only a mile and a half. But that is enough time to see mockingbirds, swallows, American robins, starlings, a fox with a white-tipped tail, a cormorant, and a flock of geese ready to cross the road. And on the commute home, even an eastern bluebird!

So, a young grackle has been lurking on the lawn, and hops closer when I step out of the kitchen door, because this one has learned I have peanuts. Now hops even closer to get a nut. Clever bird!

#Vultures! In the wetlands!
#BirdCallOutI was at the back of my little bog after releasing a few bats the other day just after sunset, when I noticed two of my local black vultures having a bit of a cuddle atop a tree snag at the edge of the water. Volume up for some swamp sounds.
🖤 I love that my backyard corner of the world is an overlap of black vultures and turkey vultures.

We saw a red kite today. Fabulous bird, just cruising in North Fife. Flew right over our garden & field. Probably a juvenile (last year’s fledgling) looking for a territory of its own.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they chose somewhere local!#BirdCallOut #Raptor #Scotland

The phoebe pair that nests under the roof of my shed just hatched their 2nd clutch! They haven’t had success with their 2nd clutch since 2022. The adult is standing on the nest looking in with a look of, what have we done?! 🤭
In March I removed the nest from the previous year. It forced her to build from scratch instead of just topping off the old one. It was sturdier and the first clutch didn’t wreck it with their oversized hijinx, which these new hatchlings will appreciate.

Four mistle thrushes (a family I guess) hopping about the recently mowed meadow.

On the white railing outside the kitchen, ThurstonBluejay cawed loudly as if to speak to her fledglings up in the tree canopy, “pay attention, kids, this is how you can get good nuts,” and took a peanut from my hand and flew back to them. 🐦🤍🩵💙✨
