It seems to really be spring in Minnesota. We haven’t seen snow in almost a month. Trees are getting green. The grass even needs to be mowed.

And there are birds everywhere. Especially in the street. So I decided to take my zoom lens out to try to catch a few.

I am very bad about identifying birds, but I think this is a Philadelphia Vireo. Or it’s something else entirely. But it’s yellow. And looked pretty good against the street.

We think this is a chipping sparrow. He was the only one (so far) brave enough to see what the toast in the yard was all about.

Then a hawk flew by and all the birds seemed to scatter. I’m still waiting for them to return. Maybe some day…
