Tuesday

A nice spring day today, I got this nice Northern Cardinal couple on my feeder cam.
I saw a Gray Catbird today along a trail, first one in a while.

The cardinals are so cute!

I've been hearing catbirds but haven't seen any.

That's a great picture! Male cardinals are always startling to me; I don't see cardinals in my part of the world.

What are you currently seeing in your locale?

In my area of the world (southeastern Alberta, city in the middle of shortgrass prairie) the birds we see at our feeders and/or around the city:

Summer migratory birds: American robins, mourning doves, grackles, European starlings, American goldfinches

Year-round birds: Blue jays, black-capped chickadees, red-breasted nuthatches, Northern flickers, downy-headed woodpeckers, house finches, house sparrows, European collared doves, pigeons, magpies, Canada geese, mallards, sharp-shinned hawks, Coopers hawks, great horned owls, red-winged blackbirds, crows

(Winter migratory birds: Dark-eyed juncos, blue jays, Canada geese (massive colonies along the river))

Wow, so many birds! :D There is a lot of overlap with what I see in central Illinois, but you have a wider variety.
