This is the first video I’ve gotten without the sliding glass door between me and our Northern Flicker.

Some still shots.

And a couple of Chestnut-backed Chickadees loving the hot-pepper suet.

And no yard is complete without a squirrel using our highway, AKA back fence.

I am surrounded by tall trees on three sides. Birds are singing everywhere. Here’s what my Merlin Bird ID app showed me.

I had never heard nor seen the Hutton’s Vireo and Swainson’s Thrush. Frustrating not seeing them in the yard.

Welcome, Summer!
