It's nesting time for many species, like this female Pine Warbler pictured above. Fur, feathers, mud, moss, sticks, pine straw, flowers and even random bits of shiny metal can be used by birds to build, and occasionally decorate nests.
Image
This is a newly built Carolina Chickadee nest. It's made of spongy moss and lined with fur. No eggs yet, but very soon she will lay one egg each day until she has a full clutch, usually 4 - 5 eggs.
Image
Most of you know what this nest is...an Eastern Bluebird's! Bluebirds use pine straw almost exclusively, and lay sky blue, or sometimes pure white eggs.
Image
Dead trees are incredibly important to cavity nesting birds like these Red-bellied Woodpeckers. Please top off or leave any dead trees that are not a danger.
Hi, BirdWatchers!

We love Spring Migration! It's like a giant Easter egg hunt for birdwatchers. Thank you to our friend, Janice Neitzel, who lives in Gulf Shores, AL. She is an amazing photographer and generously shared some of her photos. Her yard attracts hundreds of neotropical migrants arriving from their trans-Gulf journey. Most of the species below are fairly common migrants and/or summer residents in Georgia. With a little effort, and a good pair of binoculars, you can see them, too! Watch for them visiting your birdbaths, fruit, suet and mealworm feeders, or foraging for insects in the treetops. You can also go on one of many free local bird walks led by experienced birders during April and May.
