Camelia and Pear Blossoms

 My camelia is finally blooming in the backyard.

Pear Blossoms are in bloom, too.  Many birds like the nectar or the petals.

"I am a male House Finch.  We are visiting this neighborhood."

"Hi, I am a female House Finch.  I am visiting with an Oregon Junco."

"Hi, I am a Red-breasted Nuthatch.  I'd rather eat the suet here."

Summer Temperature in March

 Last several days, it has been warm like early summer.  Wild flowers began to bloom at the wetland.

Quite a few Golden-crowned Sparrows are around here during the cold months.

"I like to nibble the fresh spring buds."

"I am a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.  I returned from the backyard."

"We are Tundra Swans and staying here for a little 

while before going to Alaska."

Arrival of Summer Birds

 At the wetland nearby, Tree Swallows are already here.👍👀😁

"We like Oregon for summer."😊

In my backyard, a male Rufous Hummingbird just arrived (3/10) on the way to Alaska.🤩

"I am the first here!"😍

"Can you see my excitement?"👑👍🦜

The Rufous shows it by the orange head and throat.

Big Birds

 It's been raining all the time.  Before this long-lasting rain, we had a beautiful sunny day.

Double-crested Cormorant: "I am so happy to see the sun coming out!"👍🤩

"Yeah!"😍

"I am a Great Blue Heron."👑☀️🌞
