Birds, Buds, Blossoms & Bees! Oh Boy!

Springtime in New Haven!

Among other things, Cheryl and I are the Chief Blossom Predictors and record keepers for Wooster Square's famous Cherry Trees for the Historic Wooster Square Association. This entails taking a kajillion photos and posting them every day, from little green buds to our peak, then all the way to leaves. We also post about every other week during the year.

Of course, this year, I was out there with one more thing on my mind.... BIRDS! 

Here are a few of my favorites!

We saw this unidentifiable bird waaay
up in the trees in Winchester Massachusetts.

Fortunately, we gotta guy for that.

My guess was an Orchard Oriole. 
Close. 
Most likely a female Baltimore Oriole he says.
Makes sense, as I was taking pictures of her
I saw what I thought was red and a cardinal
fly by...but my guess is that was the male.
Missed him!!
