Spring Images

 Grape Hyacinth

This is the 3rd season for them.  I planted some

Daffodils last Fall...the greens popped up but

no blooms.

 Goldfinches

As you can see, they were getting a bit

aggressive.  We've been having a lot of rain 

and overcast skies here in SC Kansas.

This week we are seeing fewer Goldfinches 

at the feeders.  Did they go further North?

 Eurasian-collared Dove

There are a pair of these Doves feeding on

the back deck.

 

 I am wondering if this may be a 

Lesser Goldfinch?  We had one last year and

I heard they were rare for our area.

 We've had this different colored Junco all

Winter.  They sure are pretty!

 Pigeon-toed

Even though this is a Mourning Dove :-)

 Mourning Doves are enjoying the birdseed, too!

 Robins are building this nest right out in 

our front yard.  We weren't sure if this young

Paper Birch was going to make it through the

intense heat of last year.  Half of the leaves

fell off because of early 90 degree

heat.  We are seeing buds.  I hope we don't have a repeat of 

last Spring and Summer's heat.  If we do, we 

made need to purchase a swimming pool.

Spring Lilies

I hope everyone is having a great

Spring!!
