Happy June! Have you seen any great birds at your feeder or on a hike lately?

Check it out:
If you want to guess, I’d love to hear from you! Use the comment box below to identify this bird.

Hi, Sharon, Puzzler #202 is a Tufted Titmouse.
Unfortunately the only exceptional ‘bird’ I’ve seen this week was a grey-haired man wearing a full-length black dress at the grocery store, but a naturalists’ club outing to the Carden Plain (perhaps you’ve heard of it since you’ve been to Algonquin Prov’l Pk) will yield some interesting subjects for my photography and poetry. At Carden Plain you can see birds that until fairly recently could be seen around Peterborough, but have declined sharply because of intensive agriculture and ‘development’. I would love to take close-up portraits of an Upland Sandpiper and Eastern Bluebird. Murray
Murray,
No, I hadn’t heard of Carden Plain but it sounds like a great place. I will look it up. I hope the trip is a great one and you get to see a lot of interesting things. You will have to let us know if you get the portraits you are hoping for. Thanks for reading!
Tufted titmouse. I miss them at my feeder since I can only put out thistle seed. Bear takes down and destroys feeders I put other seed into.
Arden, yes our wNC bears are quite greedy for birdseed. We continue to feed the birds all year because our feeder hangs from a high rope that they can’t reach. We bring it in nightly so it doesn’t tempt them. Thanks for reading, and yes, the puzzler is a tufted titmouse.
Tufted titmouse! One of the few birds I reliably identify!
Megan, yes you are right! Thanks for reading.
