Lots of bird activity this week

It is test time for you visitors! I think these are warblers, but I am lazy and tired and don't want to look them up in the books. Besides, I get confused! Any help on what birds are in these four pictures?






A Baltimore Oriole hung out for a couple of days. Sure liked the orange on our make shift oriole feeder. Last week we bought this squirrel feeder for a dollar. Nice to see the squirrels not getting into a squirrel feeder!







Momma squirrel hanging out in the trees finding bedding for her new nest!



More color and variety! Blue Jays, House Finch, White Crowned Sparrow.







From Doves sunning themselves to the Red Bellied Wood Pecker eating nuts to the Female Cardinal and White Throated Sparrow, variety and color appear outback.






The Rose Breasted Grosbeaks are visiting again this Spring, probably on their way North. Last year they stayed about a week until a Hawk decided to visit our feeder for a tasty lunch.







Sunset at an elevator near McLean with a front hanging in the West. Pictures taken about one minute apart.




Colorful Spring blooming trees from Normal.






Momma Duck and the little ducklings on Sugar Creek Near Ewing Park.
