I haven’t had a bird report
in awhile, but we are still enjoying
our summer birds
around the area. Bill and
Marsha Mabie have had numerous
finches, some orioles,
flickers, a pair of cedar waxwings,
busy little hummingbirds,
among other birds.....more>>
Our garden this year is
doing well, but last week was
surely hard to do much in it
with all the rain we received
and the constant thunderstorms
off and on throughout
the week.
The calendar says summer
arrives on June 21, but
with this heat (84 degrees, as
I write this column on June
7) and humidity, I believe it’s
already here! Now this is
weird — I have one calendar
that says summer begins on
June 21, but in looking at another
calendar, that one says
June 20! So which one is
right?!
I think maybe spring is finally
here to stay as our
hummingbird population has
now increased. We had only
seen a couple of hummingbirds
until last Friday, May
30, when we had at least six
of them, maybe more, zipping
back and forth to the
feeders. They sure are busy
little birds!
If nothing else, I sure have
lots of bird sightings to report
this week. They started
coming in last Monday, May
5, when Sharon Thompson
phoned to tell me the brilliantly
orange and black
northern oriole had arrived.
Then she excitedly called me
again the next day to say she
had two male rose-breasted
grosbeaks.
Our spring birds are continuing
to arrive, as I was
surprised to see the early arrival
of our brown thrasher
on April 22. We don’t usually
see him until toward the end
of May. I was even further
surprised to spot two of them
as I usually only see one each
year.
I enjoyed a nice visit, via
telephone, with Marion Holmes
last week, and she mentioned
seeing some birds that
she hadn’t seen in a few
years. Twice this past winter,
she says, she spotted six
or eight pine grosbeaks.
