A Green Heron couple is building a nest in our crab apple trees in Madison, Wisc.! The male collects the sticks and brings them to his mate who arranges them carefully onto the nest. Amazing!

I put my oriole and hummingbird feeders out yesterday, even though it’s chilly today in Northern Illinois. Are you ready?

The Northern Flicker came back and enjoyed a drink from our heated bird bath. This is the least expensive option for providing water to the birds in cold weather. See link in Comments.

Do you get Northern Flickers at your suet feeders? This one has been visiting us. This bird used to be called, Yellow-shafter Flicker.

Have you ever seen a Blue-footed B***y? We saw this one off the coast of Mexico at Marieta Island Nat'l Park.

They never come to our feeders, but we always love to see the Vermillion Flycather in Tuscon.

Costa's Hummingbird in AZ.

A Gila Woodpecker and a Mourning Dove hanging out on my neighbor's roof!

This cute little Carolina Wren came right up to our slider to nibble on a walnut we had fed to the squirrels!
