The spring bird migration is still slowly filtering through. The Hooded Oriole visited us for the first time just before Easter. His bright yellow/orange head with the orange on the saucer oriole feeder would make anyone’s day brighter.
Today we had a Wilson’s Warbler into our bird pond. His black cap was identifiable without binoculars. Our pond is a recirculating 4 tier pond and he seemed to like the more shallow middle tiers. He was splashed by a Northern Mockingbird in the top tier. Our pond is one of our most popular areas with birds migrating to the north. The pond allows us to see birds that do not come into our bird feeders. The Wilson’s Warbler is just one example of what adding water to your yard will do to attract birds to your yard.
