Summer is on...

About a month early...It's HOT! My day has been beginning early and ending pretty early too...by 9 am it's too sticky and uncomfortable to enjoy being out...it's Memorial Day Weekend...which reminds me that the beach in Brooklyn where I lived would be having opening day...and it would be cold most likely...BUT here it is Summer time and the living is easy..
Last weekend we went to Mays Lake it's in the Sandhills Refuge we had it all to ourselves.   But this weekend we can't seem to get motivated to go anywhere...we have the blahs!


The birding has been good but totally dipped on any new species the past 11 days! Honestly I have not tried as hard as I should it's too hot and the birds are laying low except for the usual crowd...


Some new arrivals...to this world




Worried Mom...protecting her clutch


Don't recall ever having so many Yellow Breasted Chats around my area as this year I think it's the many successional (?) growths from all the timber cutting the past couple years. 



The Orchard Orioles have been busy too I haven't spotted a nest but I know they are out there...



And already seeing the weird immature birds that make you go hmmmmm...I'm going with Chipping Sparrow on this one shown below...



Finally got a shot of the Eastern Wood  Peewee...


and a "still" swallow is priceless...



Barn Swallows

There is really only one thing to do when it gets this hot...


As Jimmy demonstrates this for us...

I wonder what lucky bird lives in this house?

Every day is a new Adventure.
