Marshlands - 5th April

My first visit to Marshlands since the snow melted. Plenty of evidence of spring including; displaying Wild Turkey, Red-winged Blackbird and Hairy Woodpecker, nest-building by many species including Osprey, and newly arrived migrants such as Tree Swallow and Eastern Phoebe.

Male Wild Turkeys really are the most ridiculous birds. 32 in total around the feeders today.

Red-winged Blackbird

These two female Hairy Woodpeckers were chasing each other around a tree...

...while this male was just pootling along, minding his business.

More Eastern Phoebe. Not sure they'll be appearing again in this blog!
