The warblers are passing through - I watched a Ruby-crowned Kinglet darting out from our little willow oak sapling to eat insects, and heard a Northern Parula across the street (Bzzzzwheeep!).
Our cardinal babies all went away, but there are fledgelings around the house begging for food - don't know if they're the front yard brood or from another nest...
My yard list for April - early May: Rock Dove (AKA pigeon, "sky rat") Mourning Dove Chimney Swift (heard only) Downy Woodpecker Red-bellied Woodpecker Northern Flicker Blue Jay American Crows, being irately pursued by 2 mockingbirds Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Carolina Wren House Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet Robin Northern Mockingbird Gray Catbird (are there any other colors?) European Starling (sigh - too many) Northern Parula (heard only) Yellow-rumped Warbler (AKA "Butter-butt") Northern Cardinal White-throated Sparrow (they seem to be sticking around and calling from trees - maybe nesting?) Song Sparrow Rufous-sided Towhee (heard only - I refuse to call them the boring official "Eastern Towhee" name) Brown-headed Cowbird (boo. hiss.) Common Grackle House Sparrow - too many - they nest in my neighbor's attic... American Goldfinch Little Brown Bat (not a bird, but I always like seeing the First Bat of Spring. When it's warm, we sit on our deck through sunset, waiting for the First Bat of the Evening. I don't know where they roost, but I'm glad they're there to eat up the mosquitos.)
Not bad, considering I don't have any feeders out. Still haven't seen our first hummingbird, although our native honeysuckle is blooming up a storm...
