Spring is Almost Here and the Birds are Nesting

Northern flickers have returned to the snag out front, a dead tree we left standing for the birds and other wildlife.

They use cavities they hammered out in previous years and will excavate more if necessary. Smaller birds appreciate the holes, too.

House finches prefer the arborvitae in back, this male looking fine, sings to woo a mate.

Who could resist?
