This morning we has two Baltimore Orioles, FOY birds. One flew away quickly; the second flew down from rhe tree to take a sip from the hummingbird feeder before it left. Two B. H. Cowbirds showed up.and then another FOY bird showed, an Eastern Wood Pewee. The Yellow-rumped Warbler that showed up April 21st, has continued to live on feeder feed on the ground and suet.
This afternoon we headed northeast from Faribault. We hoped to see a Red-headed Woodpecker at Nerstrand Big Woods State Park. We took highway 27 east from Cannon City to Nerstrand exit and turned left, west, to the State Park. Highway 29 east from Cannon City, is a muddy mess east of the State Park. One half mile east from the Park entrance is a home of two ladies who have many bird feeders.They are friendly to birders. It was there saw our FOY Red-headed Woodpecker, not the State PaRK It reminded us more about Spring to see tulip in bloom and rhubarb coming up. Good birding to you. Rev.
