Late Spring Birds
With the spring warbler migration ending and the weather warming up, we are spending more time in our backyard and less time going out birding. Our feeders and birdbaths keep enough interesting birds in the area and Chris has become the Kool-aid mom for birds.
The baby ducks are growing, but all 11 and Mom still fit on the floating island and have consumed all the expensive plants we had on it. We are waiting for baby orioles to appear. The night heron keeps to himself and occasionally fishes from the dock.
I saw a black crowned night heron at the Little Falls on Little Falls, NJ tonight. It was in the company of many water birds.
