Meet George

George sits on a weather stick outside our kitchen window. He keeps very close watch on the humming bird feeder.... I see him there from early morning till late at night. It is 8:15pm at the moment and he is still on guard. This was not a good day to see his red throat. More to come.

Getting behind in posting....

will get some done tomorow, but here is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the rest of the long weekend

Blue Bird update

I have been worried about the Blue Birds and whether they made it through the cold nights we have had this week.....seems that all is well, both Mr. and Mrs. were offering lunch today.

The Cherry River Marsh in Magog, Que

I spent most of the day walking through the Cherry River Marsh in Magog, I finally met up with the Green Heron, who looks very much like an American Bittern, but is a bit smaller. It seems every bird in the Marsh today chose to stand behind a branch or more... I think the duck with its head poking out of its box is a common merganzer, but I'm not sure.

Apple and Choke Cherry Blossoms almost in bloom

The apple blossoms are just about ready to pop open.....soon the trees will be filled with bees and hummingbirds.... but for today I only have buds to show you. The wagon wheel in the field was a challenge...focus on the wheel or the blossoms... I chose the wheel.

Another Warbler

Going to build me a house...

lots of yellow warblers around the Cherry River Marsh today
