My favourite aspect of birdwatching is bird song and I have spent years working on my identification skills.

This morning was a good workout at the Scarborough Bluffs. Here are some of the singers that we heard and occasionally saw.

Other birds:

Before the walk, I wandered about and encountered a deer which allowed close approach to its shrubby area.

In our yard, we have an oriole feeder and a hummingbird feeder at the moment. Both are frequented by orioles.

NATURE POETRY

I never knew the earth had so much gold—
The fields run over with it, and this hill
Hoary and old,
Is young with buoyant blooms that flame and thrill.        – Louis Untermeyer (1885–1977)
