New Category: B’game Wildlife

May 17, 2012

I've been meaning to start the "Wildlife" category for some time and the appearance of a flight of mallard ducks cruising through my yard has finally made me do it. Spring has sprung in B'game. The hummingbirds are out in force which surprises out of town guests who are not so lucky in the hummingbird department. Yesterday I also saw a huge tufted bluejay and a cute red-tufted woodpecker along with the usual chickadees.

Does anyone know what bird it is that feels the need to chirp at about 5:40 am every morning?

Nice looking mallard, Joe! If I ever get my hands on that little noisy morning bird, his name will be “mud”.

I’ve got some of those, too, only mine start at about 4:45. They are apparently in a “peppy” mood bright and early

Thanks, Jeff. That photo is courtesy of the web. The ones honking their way through my yard were going way too fast for me to capture on film!
So these early morning tweety birds live all over town!

If they are loud, they’re probably noisy robins.

Is it legal to shoot the crows?

Only if you plan on eating ’em.
