This beautiful scrub jay tentatively watched us with her nest nearby. These birds are one of the numerous North American bird species experiencing huge die offs due to West Nile Virus. Millions of birds are killed every year. Want to help? Regularly clean and change the food and water in any feeders or bird baths. Donโt forget the bird houses too! While mosquitoes are the usual vector, WNV can be also be transmitted by contamination. And by now you should realize, donโt handle dead birds! #conservation #birdsofnorthamerica #nature #audobonsociety #pnw #naturefacts #birdsarecool

I have two pet European Starlings. This one is going to be a year old soon and her name is Andromeda. In my state they are one of three wild bird species that can be kept, without any permits, with the other two being the House Sparrow and Pigeon. Both of my Starlings are friendly and interactive, as some of these photos of Andromeda show. #birdlife #birdlover #europeanstarling #starling #petstarling #birdsofinstagram #birdsofnorthamerica #iloveallbirds #ilovebirds

Today was a beautiful day, the first real spring day. I did yard work and even got some red on the nose, and the whole yard was full of flirting and singing birds. This House Finch couple was so adorable. She kept begging him for food, which is part of their courtship ritual.

Every winter I fill the planters on my deck with greens to have some sort of color for our dreary 6 months of winter. When I went to clean them out today, I noticed a nest and eggs in one of window boxes. Later this afternoon I discovered it was a Mourning Dove's nest. You can see mom or dad's (MDs share duties) head in the last picture.

I love birds so this custom bookmark was a treat to create!
Happy Earth Day! Waffles celebrated by finally laying her second egg. She took a day off between number one and two, which I have never seen before. I was so happy to see her continue. I also got some seeds started in pots. Are you doing anything special today?

I love this time of year when the bullocks orioles are back in town! Theyโre like little balls of fire ๐ฅ bouncing through the green canopies above me!

A horny little Ruby-crowned Kinglet trying to attract a female a few branches away. We only see these lovely and entertaining creatures for a few weeks a year as they put pass through on their migration.

Itโs quite amazing to watch these Great Blue Herons hunt for food in an environment like the one in the picture. They wade stealthy in murky water, focused on whatever species lies below and bam, just like that they strike and always seem to emerge with a fish or frog. ๐ซ

Female Oregon Dark-eyed Junco I haven't seen many of the Juncos with the lighter gray heads in my yard until recently but it is that time of year so I believe this to be the female. There was another Junco with her but it was on the back of the tree.
