OT: This week's photos up to May 25

Last week's photos
Good morning!
Gosh it's hot here now! I think it was less than 2 weeks ago we actually had snow, yesterday we had to put the A/C on. Supposed to be like this for a few days. What happened to spring?

I have a hummingbird coming to my feeder! First time ever; I've seen it 5 or 6 times. Would like to get a shot of it for my backyard bird book, wish me luck!

We went on a road trip to Rondeau Provincial Park a few days ago.....it's a popular spot for birds during spring migration. It was a beautiful day but I think the sun drove the bugs and therefore the birds up to the tops of the trees. So it wasn't very productive although I did get some good shots of three Canada Warblers.

Most of the spring migrants have moved on now; there are still a few Yellow Warblers around but that's about it.

Today's photos.....a Black-Throated Blue Warbler, an Indigo Bunting, a Canada Warbler, a Killdeer Chick, a Yellow Warbler, a Great Blue Heron, and a Fawn!

Thank you for looking! And please stay safe!

Love the Photos Especially little Bambi!

My neighbor told me I had 2 deer on my driveway at 6:30AM yesterday! I've lived here 47 years & have never seen a deer here.
I'm quite a distance from the forest . It's VERY unusual for deer to come so near the houses.

I got up eary this morning hoping they might be back. But nope,I'm so disappointed I missed them yesterday.

Oh how beautiful! Judy - you make me miss Michigan! We usually see a lot of those birds there as well...nothing like that here in Florida now...only the waders and top predators...which aren't very sing-songy. Even the Pileated Woodpecker seems to have flown north!

Your photos are sure lovely! Thank you so much for sharing! A bright spot in my day!!

The fawn is a newborn. Love the Canada warbler.

Thanks JoyBee! I think all the wildlife are coming into the city further since there aren't as many people out and about! I know there were two coyote spotted only a couple of blocks from my place recently.

Thank you Sue! I do love seeing the different birds but a lot are here for just a few days then fly further up north.

Thanks Paula! Yes I figured it was only a couple of days old. I found three that day (and a mama in labour) and that was the smallest one.

What beautiful birds you have near you Judy! Love the kildeer chick and his/her fuzz. I am curious what type of hummingbird you have near you.

The wildlife are getting braver. A friend near me sent me a picture of an owl sitting on her flagpole - perhaps the same one that attacked her cat a previous evening. Kitty is now no longer allowed out after 6PM, even if the humans are out in the yard.

Great pictures. I hope you can get one of the hummingbird.

I saw a western tanager the other day in my front yard! I thought about you immediately ... just because it was a bird I hadn’t seen before and you always have beautiful pics of birds I haven’t seen.

hope you’re doing well

Thanks Wendy! I have no idea what type of hummingbird it is, if I try to get out my door to get closer (or to take a picture) it flies away
Yikes on the owl! Happy kitty is ok!

Thanks Carla! And me too!
