My friend Jill and I went to the National Arboretum to see what might be blooming. It was much but there were a lot of birds. I was able to add five more birds to my count. I also took a few other pictures at the Arboretum.
Birds I added to the list:
#24 Brown Thrasher
#23 Northern Mockingbird
#22 Pileated Woodpecker
#21 White-breasted Nuthatch
#20 Blue Jay
Today we spent the day with the Dails. We had brunch and mimosas and candy and wine. It was a fun day and it was great to spend time with the whole family and with Max’s girlfriend. They have tons of birds in their yard so I was able to add more birds to my bird count.
And here are the birds I saw.
#19 Mourning Dove
#18 Eastern Bluebird
#17 Red-shouldered Hawk
#16 Red-headed Vulture
#15 European Starling
#14 Tufted Titmouse
It’s rainy and cloudy out today. I had the window open while working in the office. I kept hearing a Red-bellied Woodpecker screaming outside. I looked and looked and finally found him in a tree nearby. Luckily I had my camera near by with the big lens already on. I snapped a few pictures and was able to get this one. It’s #12 for the year!
#12 Red-bellied Woodpecker
The weather was a bit warmer today so I went bird watching. I only found one bird but it’s one I haven’t seen for a few years.
#11 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Today I went bird watching and added 9 birds to the count. I’m up to 10 so far! Here are the ones I photographed today:
#10 Canada goose
#9 Northern Cardinal
#8 Carolina wren
#7 Hooded Merganser
#6 Mallard
#5 Northern Pintail
#4 Ring-billed Gull
#3 Swamp Sparrow
