Some Spring Songsters

These mornings, it seems like every bird is showing its singing prowess.. Yesterday I heard four Downy Woodpeckers calling back and forth and just further ahead, was serenaded by a flock of eager Chickadees. Here are some of the others:

Northern Cardinals are very vocal – both of these were singing in the crisp morning air.
Robins were flocking and vocalizing
Even Common Grackles were more musical than usual
Song Sparrows were the singing stars but were very camera-shy.
House Finches were in full voice as well.

Shortly after returning home from the long walk, we got our first look at the Great Blue Heron, spotted by Sally, and hopefully a bird we’ll have out back on the river all summer. A true sign of spring.
