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.

On a recent trip, we got great looks at a pair of Black-backed Woodpeckers (we found their nest!) and a family of Canada Jays, commonly known as Whiskey Jacks.

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.

This "Brewster's Warbler," or Golden-winged warbler, showed up in a natural area in eastern York County a few weeks ago.

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.
