Spring Is Here
Today we took a walk on the Glover Archbold Trail in DC. We were looking for birds but didn’t find too many. All the birds we saw were ones I’ve already photographed in 2014. However, towards the end of our walk I did see an American Goldfinch still in it’s winter plumage. I got several shots. I was so excited to add another bird to the list. I haven’t added a new bird in awhile.
We also saw several deer roaming around digging through the dead leaves looking for anything green to eat. While spring is finally here, not all things have started to turn green. Lots of trees have buds ready to burst open. And of course the daffodils are all out looking pretty. It was in the low 60s today but there was a little breeze that was keeping a little chill on. We enjoyed our walk and look forward to spring continuing to get warmer and warmer. And more flowers and trees turning green!
New Bird at the Feeder
On Saturday morning I was watching the bird feeder and saw a Downy Woodpecker getting some seeds. That was the first time I’ve ever seen a Downy Woodpecker actually at the feeder. I also saw an American Goldfinch with winter plumage visiting the feeder. I know it’s the time of the year I’ll be seeing less and less visitors at the feeder, but I thought that was cool to see the Downy Woodpecker and the winter plumage American Goldfinch. Here are some pictures.
American Goldfinch
This week I put up a bird feeder at work. Today I put my iPad in the tree and had it playing the tweets of an American Goldfinch. Within a few minutes this is what showed up at the feeder. Pretty cool and such a pretty bird!
New Birds
It’s a rainy, misty morning in the DC area but I’m still able to find and photograph new birds. Two of them are very common birds but I haven’t gotten a chance to photograph them until today. The third one I’ve been trying to capture for a very long time!
