Spring in New England brings the usual wide swings of weather - perhaps more so this year - the record breaking rainfall, plus the record breaking heat (91 degrees in early April...). The winter migrators are arriving back. We have a breeding pair of Eastern Bluebirds in the yard (male on the left, female on the right), plus a Sharp Shinned Hawk (see dreadful video), who was trying to catch a tufted titmouse near the bird feeder.
Seen a lot more raptors this year, from the common Red Tailed Hawks to Turkey Vultures. The bats are back out as well.
