Not the best pic but my first of the Eastern towhee👍
Been hearing them the past two years but not had a chance to photograph. Very cute birds and I ran across it while it was singing its heart out so I got to watch its behavior for a while. Awesome first encounter 🙂

Swans in bright sunlight, oh well. Too tired to battle with it and am wondering why it didn't occur to me to use a polarizing filter.
But...babies!!!! 3 of them!!! Apparently they are still sitting on 2 eggs, but folk aren't optimistic that they'll hatch. But...cute little fluffies. And this is the only angle at which they are still visible, and mostly when the wind blows the new grass away. The cattails grow fast.
Nachmieter im Anflug: Anscheinend ist schon Zeit für eine zweite Runde :blobcathappy: .
Eine Frage an die Ornithologen: Soll ich das alte Nest entfernen, oder wird das wiederverwendet?
Since moving house in December, we have had very few birds in the garden (expected). At our last house, I'd be watching all the fledgling scampering around the garden about now, but here nothing until this morning when a Juvenile Pied Wagtail paid us a visit.
