Although shorebirds are the highlight of the Spring here in the Pacific Northwest, locally songbirds are much more prevalent, especially at the Theler Wetlands in Belfair. My favorite bird this time of year is the Tree Swallow, but so far I haven’t managed to capture a picture of one. So last Friday I had to settle for this shot of a Barn Swallow
sitting on the railing where I usually get the best Tree Swallow shots.
It was sunny and quite “birdy” there Friday, though some people might not be impressed by Gold-Crowned Sparrows,
upside down Chickadees,
or feisty Ruffous Hummingbirds
protecting their territory from other males.
So glad to see the hummingbird again!
