I just spotted a female Pine Warbler yesterday (the 2nd of February) sitting on the windowsill eating a seed. From what I understand, they overwinter a bit south of here (very southern Virginia and into the Carolina’s etc) but right when early February rolls around they return to just north of their wintering range – which is basically right where I am. Cool! I wonder if she had just arrived.

Northern Cardinal

You know me as the Virginia State Bird, but you might also know me as the bird that keeps attacking my own reflection in your window. (I can't help it! It's hormones!)

American Goldfinch

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

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.
