Spotted two birds in our yard for the first time this year (they're returning from their wintering over): a male Bullock's Oriole, and a Northern Flicker. The oriole spent about an hour eating from our hummingbird feeders; a gorgeous individual that appeared to be in full breeding plumage. We're hoping he'll nest here this year. The flicker was doing what flickers do best: strutting around our yard eating ants. We could support dozens of flickers on our ant population!
