Saw this Little Blue Heron at Horn Pond birding site inland in MA. Very unusual for this site and it thrilled all the birders who saw it. Little Blues are a rare nester in MA (mainly coastally).

Baltimore Orioles and Ruby-throated Hummingbids are arriving!
Here they come! Eagerly waiting for the return of the orioles and hummingbirds! EBird maps show where they are now. Get out the oranges and hummer feeders soon! After this brutal winter, the return of these beauties seems even more welcome!

FOY (first of season) Chipping Sparrow has arrived!
Yay, FOY Chipping Sparrow has returned yesterday, I have been waiting. Hellebore and Winter Aconite (Eranthis, supposedly critters don't eat it like they do crocus) are in bloom. Happiness is -it is starting to really feel like spring. Pause and enjoy the blooms and the birds.
