Backyard Birding
This is kind of exciting: yesterday I spotted a Sedge Wren in my backyard, just for a few moments. It's normally a marsh bird; I guess all the rain we've been having confused it. I'm not expecting this bird to stick around our backyard, so I'm really lucky I managed to catch a glimpse of it!
Our regular summer birds have returned, too, in addition to the mockingbirds who never left: Brown Thrasher, Northern Flicker, cardinal, robins... A new addition to our backyard is a yellow warbler, who I've spotted twice now. I have to admit that I'm partial to the mockingbird family. We have 5 or so who stay around all year and serenade us.
