Baltimore Oriole and Catbirds
I see Baltimore Orioles around the yard during the summer, but they've never had an interest in the feeders, even when I've tried to entice them to a nectar feeder. This year a male has been visiting

Raven
I spotted a dark bird soaring over the field across the street. Binoculars showed it was a Raven, a first for home. Clear skies, Alan Glenville (western realm)

Red-breasted Nuthatch
The first Red-breasted Nuthatch I've seen here in quite a while was just on my suet feeder. A nice addition to the "usual suspects." Clear skies, Alan Glenville

Hummingbird Feeders and Other Visitors
I have been feeding the hummingbirds for more than 3 decades here. I've only noticed one other species make brief attempts to use the feeder, two visits by Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. Yet I hear report

Yes, a fine day. A nice, noisy Pileated flyover this morning and a young Northern Flicker. There were at least two Ruby-throats at my window feeder today. Clear skies, Alan

Nighthawk
In the late 1950s to early 1970s we visited my grandmother in Keene, NH, often. She lived close to the center of Keene for many of those years and I often walked around the area in the early evening.

Nice! We had some at our feeders on May 17, 2019. I already changed the caged tube-feeder over the sunflower hearts. I'll have to add some to the platform feeders for the next several days. Be nice to

A Change in Summer Residents
For decades we've had Bluebird boxes. We started with two and usually, after major disagreements, Bluebirds nested in one and Tree Swallows in the other. One year the House Wrens claimed one, leaving

Evening Grosbeaks Again
After an absence of several days, I again have Evening Grosbeaks at the feeders. This time 2 females. They never stay long, so I could simply have missed them on the intervening days. Clear skies, Ala

Evening Grosbeaks and Returning Birds
I had 4 and then 6 Evening Grosbeaks here from April 29 to May 2. They then disappeared and I figured they'd headed north once the winds died down. But this morning I have four Evening Grosbeaks again

Ruby-throated Hummingbird
A male arrived at our hanging feeder about half and hour ago. Time to put up the window feeder on the window next to my desk. Lots of fun. Clear skies, Alan Glenville
