It was cool to spot this bird near the creek during the early spring, as they don’t breed here. It was just passing through on it’s migration further into the Northeast and southern Canada where it has it’s breeding grounds.

Eastern Phoebe

The Phoebe is the first bird to welcome very early spring where I live. Although they overwinter here, they are pretty quiet, but as soon as the weather warms just a tad, you will hear "FEEbee...FEEbee" all morning long.

Yellow-throated Vireo

One of the few kinds of North American birds where the male also incubates eggs and broods young. Go Vireo!

American Goldfinch

These little birds are the swoopiest fliers that I've ever seen! Their flight patterns are like sine waves...
