Day 18.125: Spring bird walk #2

It was week two of the spring bird walks but first we had to get E5N1 to school at 6:15 am which was as much fun as it sounds. 

It did mean that I was in the cemetery about 30 mins before the scheduled meeting time and I have that to thank for one not-great photo of an eastern wood peewee. 

Here is some of what we saw after we gathered. 

Baltimore oriole with some nesting material

Northern flicker. Just after this, it disappeared into a hole so is likely also nesting here

Another oriole posed very nicely for us

As did this gray catbird

We also may have seen the site of this eagle’s nest just before we watched it trying to find a meal

We were talking about the rufous undertail surprise on these gray birds - here’s a glimpse

Eastern phoebe

A surprisingly orange scarlet tanager

Baltimore oriole busy abound the flowers of an oak tree
