                                                                    Warbling Vireo

                                                          Green Heron, First of Season

  There was also a second one in the area.

Every year a pair come to breed.


042022                                                        Snow Goose

At the end of March, this bird who was a juvenile at the time, and in the company of 19-20 Canada  Geese remained at Boomer Lake until close to the end of April.  It simply disappeared, even though it went everywhere with its Canada Goose entourage.  Writer believes that nature finally struck and it reached the time when Zugunruh made it restless.  It could easily be in its northern breeding area now doing what comes naturally. 


                                                                    Brown Thrasher

Several thrashers appeared in the area all calling for mates, which was fine for a day or two, but even nest mates will become angered and expect the others to move on, even if they must be forced to do so.  This is the male that is left and he has a mate.  As a matter of fact, just on May 4, one was seen collecting nesting material.


041522                                                      Yellow-rumped Warbler

We still have a sparse amount of Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warblers that hatched later than the first group, which should be in breeding territory now.  As one can observe, this male was in breeding plumage when this photo was taken.
