Birds and Blossoms

On Saturday the sun actually appeared out of the
fog and grayness of the past week.
With it opened the apple blossoms and brought
the beautiful birds to our yard.


a yellow warbler...

the tiny hummingbird

the vibrant Redstart...

We're back to clouds and mist today
but I will go out and look for them again!

Birds Along the Coast

Saw a flash of yellow disappear into the bushes
last night while taking a walk along the coast.
Waiting patiently for the briefest glimpse, for
this bird is in constant motion, I was able to
take one photo.
It's a yellow warbler.

Such a calm evening...thankful it was cooler
on the coast for the temperatures reached the
mid 80's ...
While gazing at the moon, we watched seabirds
head back to their island for the night.
Here's a cormorant.

...and the night herons are beginning their day...

Sunday's Garden Visitors

Didn't take long for this little chipmunk to
discover the apple that D wedged into the tree
at the bird feeders.

Among the birds in the garden this afternoon
were this yellow warbler and a hummingbird.
