All, Now that the weather is improving I'm back to spending my mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee, binoculars, and pen and paper.
Not sure if it's our physical location or if it's the habitat I've created on our property or a combination of both, but I'm often struck by the number of species we see on any given day in the spring, wondering if others have similar experiences. Recorded this morning from the back deck at 6 Tucker Mountain Rd, Meredith:
American Robin Northern Flicker Eastern Phoebe Great Blue Heron (flyover) Wild Turkey Mallard Blue Jay Turkey Vulture (flyover) American Goldfinch Tufted Titmouse Northern Cardinal Eastern Bluebird (two pair nesting in two/six boxes on the property) Dark-eyed Junco Yellow Bellied Sapsucker Hairy Woodpecker Barred Owl (heard not seen) Downy Woodpecker Black Capped Chickadee Broad-winged Hawk (two engaged in mating behavior overhead) Red-tailed Hawk (flyover) Mourning Dove American Crow White-breasted Nuthatch
