The new arrivals just keep coming: 

A white crowned sparrow showed up yesterday and posed nicely for me right away.

I heard wood thrushes up in the woods.

Two female baltimore orioles arrived to keep the two males in the area content.

I saw a total of 5 catbirds while I was out for my morning walk.  They are all staking out their patches of woods along the road.

I also went up to my neighbor's pond for the third day in a row to get canadian gosling photos.  I love watching those cute little bundles of yellowish feathers swimming around with their parents.  They are growing so fast. (See Birds / Juveniles 2009).

The phoebe eggs should start hatching this Thursday or Friday.  The male and female bluebirds are making mealworm runs to feed 4 hungry chicks in their nest.
