Birds from the backyard feeders

We put up a jelly feeder for the orioles. They ignored it while building their nest and then disappeared entirely during the June rains. The catbirds have been sampling the jelly recently.

 

The goldfinches are returning to the nyjer feeder now but not in the same numbers that we saw last year.

 

Birds from the Celery Farm in Allendale

We took a quick trip to the Celery Farm in Allendale, NJ. The yellow warbler was best photo that we got.

We spotted some wood ducks including what appeared to be an immature male just showing some adult colors.

Tufted Titmouse feeding baby

Here is a tufted titmouse feeding her young. We've spotted quite a few babies being fed this week, including the tufted titmouse, the chickadee and the downy woodpecker.
