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.

I was amazed the size of the Grackles next to the Red-Winged Blackbird. I love to hear the male’s call too – it means Spring is here. The doe is pretty and I hope you get some fawn pictures too!
Thank you Linda, yes the fawns will be coming next. That will be so cute.
We’ll all be envious of you seeing the cute fawns. I saw them up close at Lake Erie Metropark a few years ago – so cute and Mom nearby, but had to take photos and leave as they were near a swamp and the mosquitoes were horrible.
Great pics Sandra. I haven’t seen the Redwings yet. They should be mating by now?

Wildlife enjoys springs more than humans!
They know the seasons so well and go where the food is for sure.
Lovely and lyrical.
