Welcome Birds!

It's gotten cold again, even with a possibility of frost. Still, the sunlight is warm and friendly. Birds seem to enjoy the spring as much as we do. Usual morning doves, robins, chickadees, gold finches have been around. But yesterday morning I spotted a few not so usual birds in our back yard. First, I spotted an indigo bunting. I thought I saw an all blue little bird and had to grab my binoculars. Sure enough.
Also in the above picture was an evening grosbeak, eating Joe's sunflower seeds. We actually have Mr. and Mrs. E. Grosbeak.
And Baltimore orioles are back again (below). Birds love our cherry blossoms. So are the hummingbirds. I saw them!! Of course, no photos. They are too fast.
