Another Moment!!
This sighting might not be as exciting as Lous', but today at noon we observed a male & female Downy Woodpecker on the branch of our Catalpa tree which holds our suet feeder. He proceded to mount her

VF Birds 5/6/99
Vischer Ferry - 5/6/99 - first Wood Thrushes, White-crowned Sparrow, B Oriole. As far as I'm concerned it's been a silent spring so far. I have never seen such low numbers of Yellow-rumps in my life.

I haven't seen large numbers of Yellow-rumps nor Yellow warblers either. I did see my first ruby-throated Hummingbird today, though. It was perched in a dead tree...exactly where I've seen it the past
