  5. Patchwork Plumage

    There was a flock of about twenty brown‑headed cowbirds (scientific name) beneath my bird feeders this morning. These four were part of that group. At first, because of the patchy plumage on several of them, I wasn’t completely certain of the species — I’ve never seen cowbirds with such uneven coloring before. But I surmise they’re mostly juveniles, still wearing their transitional feathers.

  13. Am... am flabbergasted....
    b TWICE
    in less than a year... two plotters.. asked me what are blackberries for!! good grief!! one, an immigrant, was amazed when I told him they're edible and delicious, he made a disgusted face.... the other a local with the plot right next to mine, also asked what are they for. I said they're edible and delicious and grown all around you; offered one fruit from a box I'd just filled in from the nearby bushes, she made a face and refused.

    Goodness gracious me. I rest my case. Am not telling them am having a handful of them in goat yogurt, for breakfast, lest they run away in fright.

    Picked up some new potatoes over a couple of weeks; thanks to blackbirds digging for worms, they pull them up clean and tidy. nice.

  17. Who Wants to Lay Her Eggs in Another Bird's Nest

    Here, a female brown‑headed cowbird (Molothrus ater) lifts one wing as if to answer the question — or maybe to say, “Let me, let me.” Brown‑headed cowbirds are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other bird species and relying on those unsuspecting foster parents to raise their young.

  35. My very talented Alan has created a made to measure protective #cage for our little #rockery to save our house #leeks from the attentions of the #blackbirds and #pigeons who love pecking them to bits. It's easy to lift on and off when I need to weed it & I'm chuffed to bits with it 😀

  36. Midnight Plumage

    While exploring Savannah, Georgia near the Savannah River, I spotted this bird. Since we were so close to the coast, I assumed it was a boat‑tailed grackle, but I was wrong — it’s actually a common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula).

  40. Quiet Firebird

    This is the third image of a Baltimore Oriole I’ve posted in a week. They’re such striking birds, and their spring stopover here is brief—sometimes they don’t pause at all—so I make the most of every encounter.

  44. No‑Nonsense Oriole

    I was spotted by this rather stern‑looking Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula). He seemed distinctly unimpressed with the bird feed I’d put out. A few minutes after taking the photo, I peeled an orange and set out the slices, which quickly attracted a few other orioles.

  48. Firebird in the Green

    I spotted this migrant passing through—a vivid Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula). I put out pieces of the only orange I had, hoping to coax more of them in. It was a mandarin, so it didn’t last long, and I never saw who actually carried off the pieces.

    With no more oranges left, I cut up an apple and set that out instead. That plan didn’t work either. Judging by the scene this morning, a raccoon probably made off with the apple slices during the night.
