Spring hails the return of many migratory bird species around the home, and of course I'll attempt to snap pictures when I can. The past few days have been pretty busy, but I did manage to catch a few pics of some infrequent visitors:

I've also heard a cacophony of birds out in the surrounding yards. One of the more prominent is the Eastern Towhee. I haven't been able to get a decent picture yet; he rarely ventures to the front yard and tends to flit around the brambles in the backyard. But, I do hear the constant "drink-your-teeeee" call. It's kinda nice.

I took a few minutes during lunch today to clarify, crop, caption and clean up the photo library my Wildlife at Tritt Springs photo album. There are a few newcomers that I haven't identified yet, so proceed with all haste and help me out!

Note: I've ordered the photos according to the subject - e.g. all the Tufted Titmice will appear together in the library, but I noticed that the order didn't translate to the online album. I'll work that out soon.

As we continue to get ourselves unpacked (not even close), set up (sorta) and settled in (not really), I've taken some time out to prop up some wildlife feeders around the house. The previous owners were very much into birds, so I suppose that works out well for us as the critters might continue to forage for seed around the house. I placed two feeders outside of our front windows, which afford a fantastic view of the front yard and any visitors to the area. So far, I've identified several bird species, and we get the occasional chipmunk and squirrel as well. We might even have a chipmunk that's burrowing in between a few rocks in the yard, but time will tell if that's the case. Here's a link to some pictures I've taken - if you're a subscriber to Bird Fancy, why don't you help me out in identifying some of the unknown species I have, will you? So far, I have pictures of a Tufted Titmouse, some type of Wren, American Robin, Black-Capped Chickadee, and an Eastern Chipmunk. There are a few unidentified wingers in there too. I've also seen, but not photographed, a few woodpeckers. That has been remedied by keeping a camera close at hand in the kitchen :)
