Birds on my property

--------------------

April 1st, outside my window, simply a sight to behold

***

The pileated woodpecker, below, shows up on my property every year - same time, same place

Others follow suit

Carolina wren

Bluebird (annual renter -- and yentah)

Robin, the lawnlubber

                                                                                                    

Creepy brown creeper, year after year, loves that tree

Cerulean warbler (annual spring visitor) often seen
