Spent this past weekend at my brothers house ,first time in more than a year.Lots of nice birds coming to his feeders and others passing by.
Baltimore Orioles visiting his oranges and the sapsucker wells nearby,especially after the sapsucker left.A pair of Eastern Kingbirds switching
off nesting duty after loud greetings.My first Ruby-throated Hummingbird of the year,a male who spent all his time chasing a few others away
from the feeder.Lots of finches including one Evening Grosbeak,Rose-Breasted Grosbeak,Pine Siskins and lots of lovely male Purple Finches.A
American Redstart bathing in his bird bowl.An Osprey flying overhead with a fish in it's talons!And the highlight one day a Vesper Sparrow
partaking in the bounty.Spent the whole day figuring out this bird,had the white outer tail feathers and eye ring but not much else.It was so
interesting every day just sitting in his yard,relaxing having a few refreshments and watching,have to do it more often,Take the relaxing back
constant activity even when it hot.And finally over 50 species seen in the yard.List to follow,
