[Mnbird] More FOYs for me

[Kim Wilcox]

I was delighted this morning to find 2 male Yellow-rumped Warblers
scavenging under some of our bird feeders; they are still hanging around.

Since Apr 10, other backyard birds have included both a male and
(separately) a female Northern Flicker, a Song Sparrow, a Turkey, Cooper's
Hawk, and a Phoebe singing on the deck! In the past we have occasionally
had phoebes nest under the deck, so I'm hopeful they might again, although
I haven't seen or heard any since.

In addition, during our brief foray into early summer, the chorus and wood
frogs were singing from the wetland behind us, always one of my favorite
signs of spring. I hope they will start up again if we ever warm up! On one
of those warm evenings, with windows open, I heard a Barred Owl calling one
night. I always feel lucky to hear an owl calling late at night when it
seems like no one else is awake....
