yellow throated warbler, one last time

He's still hanging around,bullying the chipping sparrows and hogging the sunflower seed.
It has been a week and the yellow throat hasn't moved on, which I find surprising.

Another great visitor to the yard this morning - a pileated woodpecker. We rarely see them in the yard.

Lots of other great spring arrivials - red headed woodpeckers, baltimore orioles, several types of warblers.
The best thing is there are more coming.

Have a great weekend.

Hi Ric, Great photo of the Yellow-throated Warbler! I hope to catch sight of it this coming weekend in Rondeau! Could you tell me what kind of Camera you use? I'm shopping for a new one in the next few days...
Thanks, Rob Turner, London Ontario

This formation is also called the Faults & Folds of West Bay Beach. "The folds of rock are related to the churning tectonic activity that gave rise to the earth's mantle hundreds of millions of year ago." For scale I am about 6 feet tall.

My Cat is Stranger Than Your Cat

Okay this is weird; I’ll give you that right up front. We got Maggie from an animal shelter so we don’t know her background. We have found out that, if you don’t latch the bathroom door securely, Maggie will come crashing in to visit. She promptly climbs into your pants and makes herself comfortable. Now I don’t normally take a camera into the bathroom, however, this is regular thing with Maggie so, now you know the story. Sam, the black cat wants to know what Maggie is doing. Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
