We had one of the cutest yard birds visit our family's backyard last week when a female Mallard brought her three Mallard ducklings to their stream.

Three Eastern Bluebird fledglings have been visiting my bird feeders regularly. Young bluebirds are primarily brown birds with whitish spots.

I had fun last month watching a Northern Parula (a migratory warbling bird) in my favorite tree, the large white oak in my backyard.

With its yellow throat and bright yellow "spectacles," the Yellow-throated Vireo is the most colorful of the six vireo species that can be seen in Pennsylvania each year.

The Yellow-throated warbler is an active, mobile songbird that spends most of its time far from the ground on the branches of sycamore trees.

If you take a walk during the spring in a forested area near one of our streams or rivers, there is a good chance you'll hear the song of the Warbling Vireo.

I saw a small flock of hawks flying over the car as I drove home from work last week. I suspected they were likely Broad-winged Hawks.

You're likely familiar with the three most common non-native birds in North America, but you might not have heard of the Eurasian-Collared Dove.

March and April are the best months to see Bonaparte's Gulls in the Susquehanna Valley. Like many other birds, they're on their way north this time of year.

You may think the birds in these photos are Common Grackles, but they're actually Rusty Blackbirds, much less common members of our native blackbird family.
