The yard was all a flutter when this Harris Hawk landed in a tree yesterday. The quail and morning doves took off flying. One flew right into the window. At least it wasn’t the hawk. Last time that happened, it broke the window! I wrote about that HERE. FYI, there are better hawk photos in that post.

This is the downside to my Bird Buddy and putting seed on the ground for the quail.

This is also of the reasons why Olive the cat is never allowed outside. And I only let Waffles out on a short leash with me attached to the other end.

I’ve been hearing beautiful song birds and I thought it was the Cardinal. But I got a new visitor to the Bird Buddy:

It’s a Song Sparrow. Here’s what the App has to say about this bird:

Another thing I enjoy about the Bird Buddy App is you can listen to the birds’ songs and calls. I’m now able to identify birds by sound!

I’m looking forward to baby birds, especially quail. I’ve discovered one Mourning Dove nest in our backyard and I think I might have spotted a quail nest, too!

What are you looking forward to this Spring?
