Yesterday I added a few birds to my life list, including these three easy-peasy spring migrants all caught within a few minutes of each other in my parent’s back yard last week.
Why can’t I remember seeing Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Eastern Towhees or Baltimore Orioles when I was growing up here? I certainly haven’t seen them in the last 10 years – our visits home were always in the winter so I missed these guys.
