This morning when I went to put seed out at the feeders, there were a pair of catbirds perched in the holly bushes in front of our house.  One of them has been chatting away all day long.  This is the first time a pair has been near the house.

Mama phoebe is still sitting on eggs.  Bluebird pair still making regular runs to the nestbox.  Tree swallow pair was mating on the fence wire (sorry no photos - I respect their privacy).  Up to 12 goldfinches now.  As I expected 2 baltimore orioles are now vying for territory - fortunately they were at a distance early this morning.

The best thing this morning was that I discovered a flicker nest in an old tree trunk along the road where I walk my dog.  I saw the flicker fly out of the hole.  Should be some potential photo ops ahead.
