Spring Birds are Here

Spring Birds are Here and the deer have lost their winter coats already. The Common Grackles are here wondering around on the ground foraging for food. They are lanky blackbirds with long legs, a long tail, and a long and heavy bill. Adult males appear dark overall, but have an iridescent bluish head and bronzy body in good light.

The bird in the for ground is the Red Winged Black Bird, one of my favorites for its song. I love hearing them in the spring. You can see the difference in size of these two birds.

Here is one of the younger doe’s coming out of the woods. This is a good time of year for them. Green grass is uncovered by the melting snow and the bugs are not bothering them yet.
