Another first of the season from yesterday - a white-throated sparrow.
A few orange-crowned warblers also returned from the South today.
The nearly daily sighting of an American Bald Eagle in these parts is no rarity as I see one or two or five when I’m out on deck flying around or perched in a tree in my yard out in the boonies. The sighting of one on the ground in a kinda busy part of town, though, is more rare but it’ll happen; such was the case on my way into town this morning on a busy State Highway 70. This bad boy, oblivious to the traffic, was helping himself to a deer carcass.

The birds get to watch their own flat screen until the kiddo comes home from Grandma's. They seem to be enjoying the routine of birds playing in the morning (which they also get when the kid is here), nature scenes in the afternoon, then a lullaby for a while until I cover half the cage and put on some crickets with a moon. They cling to the side of the cage by the TV to sleep, I turn it off when they move into the covered area.

Turns out my birdies LOVE chickweed. It's one of those things that I assume everyone knows about, but I forget not everyone hangs out in the foraging areas of Pinterest. The common name comes from the history of being used as chicken food.
It is everywhere in the spring and fall, and will die in the heat. I'm dehydrating my harvest for foraging toys.
Here's Wildman Brill's info, scroll down to chickweed.

Digging deep! A ruby-throated hummingbird getting the best out of a gladiolus in my garden last August.
A clay-coloured sparrow with a tasty morsel, on a Meewasin valley footpath.
Another shot of that osprey last July, enjoying a freshly caught fish. This is right in the middle of Saskatoon, next to the College Drive Bridge. Urban wildlife at its best.
Back in September, this Lincoln sparrow demonstrated how to blend in with a railway sleeper.
A house wren peaking out the wren house last July, wondering when the paparazzi (wrenarazzi?) will leave them alone.
A pine siskin looking down at me, knowing they are going to fly to warmer climes while I'll be stuck in a #yxe winter.... (back in September)
They do occasionally perch in the garden. Ruby-throated hummingbird, August 2023.
The unmistakable silhouette of a nighthawk, taken last August in the skies above the garden.

It's one of those perfect storm moments. Right time, place with the right weather and right sun angle.
