I had to laugh. I usually can catch a view of the Evening Grosbeak at Hartwick Pines State Park in Grayling, MI. It's not too far from our place in Gaylord. I was excited to hear about the irruption and headed up there to go search. No luck.
Come home and I have 7 on my feeder! It was such a delight! They have continued to visit my feeders that last couple weeks. At one time I counted 15 of them. Not sure how long they are sticking around but I enjoy watching their flurry of activity!

One of my favorite birds to host in my backyard in the summer is the Baltimore Oriole. For the last couple years I have been lucky to have two nesting pairs. Hoping for the same this year!

Every spring, the Common Mergansers make a pit stop on my little lake in Northern Michigan. This year they didn't disappoint.

I was so joyful to see the Snowy Owl again this winter! I observed him at a local airport and I'm happy to say that the other birdwatchers present were respectful too and kept their distance. How about you? Have you seen a Snowy Owl this winter?

It sure is cold in Michigan right now! A couple inches of snow have fallen on the ground and the bird feeders have been crowded all day. What are you seeing today?
