Day 18.133: Spring bird walk #3

The third and final morning bird walk of the season was yesterday. Here is some of what we saw:

Red-bellied woodpecker plucking an oak gall from a tree

And - presumably - dissecting it nearby

Cedar waxwing - first sighting of the year for me

Yellow warbler

Baltimore oriole

Northern cardinal - smoking a cigar apparently?!

Northern flicker

Great black-backed gull

Northern flicker. We got a great view of the yellow underside of its wings as it flew away.

Eastern phoebe

Brown-headed cowbird


And as a bonus, we inspected the flowers on both a female and make ginkgo tree:

Flowers on female ginkgo tree

Flowers on male ginkgo tree
