Golden Cheek Warbler Fledgling

Julia and I saw a Golden Cheek Warbler fledgling this morning around 11:15. It was by itself and probably a young female. We watched feed for about 15 minutes. We also have purchased a new camera so we can post some of our own images here on the blog.

Eastern Phobe






Phoebe's are always welcome here. They help keep the red wasp population down to a tolerable level


Thanks to Julia for this image

Black and White Warbler

The Year of the Goldfinch




We have seen a huge boom in the Lesser Goldfinch population this year. Julia had a sighting yesterday with 9 goldfinches in the bird bath at one time. This morning we saw two males in the same scaley bark oak tree.

Lunch Time Sighting







A beautiful adult male Painted Bunting came by for a bath

Memorial Day Weekend




Yesterday morning we saw the first Golden Cheeked Warbler this season. The sighting of five Lesser Goldfinches (Texas variant) around 8:00 AM was a great way to start the day.
