I need to get back on board with eBird and start taking morning counts of the backyard birds and recording them on eBird.  In the next few weeks should see the return of lots of summer migrants: American Goldfinches, Grosbeaks, Flycatchers, and Warblers. 

Right now I can count on the woodpeckers for entertainment.

...and at the feeder.

A female Northern Flicker.

Looking right.

And here's a male.

They are now ' talking' and drumming each morning.
Spring is Courting Time!
