Spring is Back and so Am I.......

 Just like clockwork...  the Grosbeaks return to my yard.. I spot the Female on the lattice

 no mistaking that bright red breast streak that ID's the beautiful male RB Grosbeak

   The Indigo Bunting makes his appearance in the bushes

      and breaks bread with the Grosbeak

     I love to see how the Grosbeaks are competitive at the feeders

Actually my platform feeder broke over the winter so I just poured the seeds into a basket planter still hanging on the deck.

They seemed happy with that dinner arrangement.

  But they constantly chase each other off

 Displaying that beautiful patch of color underneath of the wings... yellow for female

   Red for the male

    

     

The brown Thrasher is also back

    Surprise that it was....  My husband spotted this gray Fox in the 

driveway and called me.  

   Spring or not, this is not something I see in my yard so I was thrilled

    He looked like a healthy specimen...   and I felt blessed to capture him with my camera

He went up over the dirt pile

picking up his pace as he went and then disappeared in the field beside my yard
