Jim heard a woodpecker pecking near our barn and was able to find him. I photographed for quite a while and then I hear another piliated calling. She showed up and they pecked at the same tree for quite a while. I was thrilled

Niguelle was here for a visit and I walked up to the cabin with her and saw these rays as I came back down. I didn't even have my phone with me but was able to grab my camera before the rays disappeared

We've had a flurry of activity at our hummingbird feeders with first the males and then 10 days later the female rufous coming through

One of the first male rufous to show up

This reminded me of beaded necklaces

I've never seen the tongue curled quite so much

He is much more orange and smaller than any rufous I've seen before and he loves to just sit on the wire and look at things

We were so happy to see the bloom

Dusky Canadian geese have Finley as one of their few stopover points in their migration. There were thousands of them and some snow geese scattered in. When they landed or took off the sound was amazing

Another Finley hawk

Someday it will warm up!
