Judging by the recent bird-posts, it seems that many yard-feeders continue to host birds not usually seen there by the home-owners. Our small St.Paul yard was no exception, with many species we've had only one other, very cold spring.
The flowering plum tree was inundated with warblers from dawn until dusk. Tennessees were the most numerous, with a smattering of Nashvilles and Cape Mays. Foliage and high mobility impeded ID, but there may have been Vireo among them. They were joined by at least five Baltimore Orioles, who were just as busy at the blossoms as the more agile warblers. Only the Rose-breasted Grosbeak went to the seed-feeder; the plum-tree looked like a living bee-hive all day.
