Blooming at the end of March in the front yard.
I was out watering my hanging baskets and saw the inchworm. I had to run in and get my camera and macro lens. Later that day I saw the green lizard and ran out to get shots of it. We have a ton of brown lizards and it’s rare to see a green one.
I’ve been seeing a lot of woodpeckers in the backyard. At one point there were 3 hanging out in different spots.
Occasionally I get a bluebird stopping by. They mostly hang out in my neighbor’s yard several townhomes down. These were all taken through the window. They are very skittish.
I was pretty excited to get a shot of a hooded warbler in the yard through the window. I saw one back in October as well but only got a blurry shot of him.I wonder if it’s the same one.
Pine warblers and northern parulas were stopping by the bird bath. I haven’t seen either in a while now so I hope they come back this fall.
Blue jays are always at the feeder.
A titmouse sits on top of the bluebird box. So far no birds have nested in it.
Turkeys were strutting by our windows in late March/early April. The first one was right in front of the window, the bottom 2 were taken across the golf course. I think these are 3 different ones since they have different face colors. I haven’t seen any in a while now. They may be nesting.
Down the street I found a juvenile night heron. Next year I’ll have to look for some nests early in the season.
That is an impressive collection of “things in the yard”!
A turkey? Really?
