Changes in the Backyard

 March is still cold in Oregon.  But outside you can find flowers in bloom. 

Birds are getting busier.😄

"Do you know I am collecting the nest materials!!"🤔😍

"Do you know I came from south?

I am Orange-crowned Warbler, a summer bird here!"😁🤩

Spring Arrival at the Wetlands

 Spring has arrived at the wetlands.

"I am American Robin.  I like many buds on the bush."🌸

"Redwing Blackbird has a musical song."😍

"Tree Swallows are returned and busy flying around."😍

Spring Visitor

 Our camelia bush is under the big pine tree (cold and shaded), 

but a couple of blossoms were already in bloom.☺️

March 14 was my mother-in-law's birthday.  A male Rufous Hummingbird often returns here on this day.  When I looked out around noon, there he was, right on time.

"I have a good memory.  I know this feeder."😁👍

"I like to drink the sweet sugar juice after my long trip from south."☺️🌸

Spring Time

 A purple crocus is now in bloom.  

Winter birds are still around in the backyard.

"I am one of them."😁

Ruby-crowned Kinglet

"I am still all the year around." ☺️🌷
