Today I started my yearly search for Rusty Blackbirds which migrate through Thatcher Woods every early spring.
Male NORTHERN CARDINAL:
WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH:
White-tailed Deer:
Fox Squirrel, I think:
COMMON GRACKLES, EUROPEAN STARLINGS, and RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS:
Male RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD singing:
CANADA GEESE:
Alas, I failed to find the Rusty Blackbirds, but it is a bit early in the season for them. I will return soon to search again!
Good birding,
Henry
