Hello, The past couple of weeks have been wonderful for watching birds in my backyard. I sent out a couple of pictures to Audubon questioning a couple of birds and found out that I had a female yellow- bellied sapsucker, a yellow-rumped warbler, a Carolina Wren. Since finding out this information I have seen 2 male yellow-bellied sapsuckers too. Also sighted were 2 male purple finches and 4 females who are visiting the feeder regularly, a small group of Evening Grossbeaks, a male and 2 female White Throated sparrows, Chipping sparrows, a few male goldfinches, a male Rose-breasted Grossbeak, Black-capped chickadees, juncos, cowbirds, grackles, red-winged blackbirds, blue jays, robins and a Merlin flew overhead yesterday. I am having such a great time and I don't even have to leave my own yard. The yellow-bellied sapsuckers are very amusing. They are pecking on everything includng my outside camera and my grill. Enjoy this wonderful weather.
