Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #nesting
I came across this Red-Bellied Woodpecker excavating a home. I wonder if there is already a brood inside.

I heard the #birdoftheday is #owls. The Snowy owl is my favourite.

Back in 2021 I was just discovering Warblers were a thing, and in my first Spring having my eyes opened wide to the biodiversity in our school yard. I spotted 9 different species of Warbler that spring. Including this Tennessee Warbler.

Black-throated Blue Warbler. Found this one during a lunch time walk. So happy my new work location attracts such a variety of warblers.

All warblers are my photography nemesis, but none greater than the uncooperative Chestnut-sided warbler. This is the best capture I have managed so far. Until we meet again...

Today's #Birdoftheday alt is my favourite #Fringillidae, the Evening Grosbeak. I was today years old when Iearned it wasn't part of the Cardinal family, and less related to Grosbeaks than finches.

Turns out I'm messed up the #BirdOfTheDay . I didn't realize #Nesting was to include the bird holding nesting materials. Here's a Chipping Sparrow doing just that. 🥰

omg that is adorable. 🤣🥰 I was going to post a Northern House Wren photo as well, but yours is much better!
Exactly what happened! 🤣 There was this stalk of uncut hay it was nestled behind. It seemed an odd place for snow to accumulate, and sure enough - it was an owl!
