A few birds we have seen in the yard this spring so far. A couple have brought our yard total to 127 species seen in the yard since we moved here 3 years ago.

Pair of male Indigo Buntings.

Female Summer Tanager. The males are a brilliant red, females are obviously not so spectacular.

Warbling Vireo, another rather non-descript bird.

We get all those up here too, but I've only seen the Indigos so far. I love their iridescence.
