"Hi, Golden-crowned Sparrows.  Let me join here.

Pear Flowers and White-crowned Sparrow

 During the spring and the autumn months, White-crowned Sparrow sometimes stops over here.


"I just stay here for a short while before going into the woods."



"I see several Golden-crowned Sparrows here.  They are my friends."



"Pear flowers are pretty.  When they are almost done, I have to be on my way."

Nest Building Season

 In my backyard, birds are getting busy.   

The other day Spotted Towhee found  good nest material. 

 

"I think this is very good for my nest.  Just it needs to be pulled harder.😊"


Varied Thrush, female:  "I come here often this spring.  Maybe it is safe enough to build a nest?πŸ’“"



Rufous Hummingbird, male: "My partner may like to build a nest near hereπŸ’‘."

A Calling Season

 Although the temperature fluctuates, birds know it is spring.   I found many birds are getting active and often calling out loud.


"I have to contact my friendπŸ‘©."



"Me, too.  Where is my friend?πŸ‘¨"



Even in my backyard, the Varied Thrush was calling someone.

"Spring is the season for calling!πŸ’˜πŸ’‘πŸ‘€πŸ‘"
