Lots of bird activity here at the ranch! First, M/M Bluebird have started nesting!! This is just about 2 weeks ahead of last year. I didn't get a chance to clean their box, so I'll have to do so today, carefully replacing the material they have been adding.
Mr. Pheasant...poor fella has been strutting, wing-beating, and calling for a Mrs. for weeks, to no avail. I don't know what happened to the ladies that he had been escorting around early this spring. Are they being coy or are they coyote victims. But, let me just say that I haven't slept past 5am in those same weeks. He starts his job early in the morning.
A flock of white-crowned sparrows is blowing through. They are so lovely and a nice change of pace.
Of course, the red-winged blackbirds and magpies are prolific.
Update: As I sit here completing this post, what comes to the feeder out my window but a future Mrs. Pheasant -- there is hope for Mr.!!!
