I took a walk around the field and woods this evening and spotted lots of birds enjoying the nice sunny day. Some bluebirds were busy sitting on their eggs, a yellow warbler looking for a place to build a nest, chickadees were in the apple blossoms as well as a hummingbird, two male orioles were chasing each other, tree swallows scolded me, the grosbeaks were eating sunflower seeds and the tiny wrens were singing up a storm. As since I was busy looking up, I almost missed a little fuzzy thing scooting across the pond. A baby wood duck headed for the grass where its mother was already hiding. I didn’t see the other babies tonight but I had spotted about seven of them the other day.
