Not as many birds around today. Just a male Northern Cardinal and a pair of American Goldfinch.

Tufted Titmouse and American Goldfinch at the bird feeders. I was amazed at how fast the American Goldfinch emptied the sunflower seed bird feeder. An American Robin was looking for worms. Although some robins stay for the winter, I think this one is a spring migrant after spending the winter in Florida. Lots of spring flowers are out. Grape Hyacinth, Tulip, and Daffodils. The Japanese Maple tree now has red leaves. Another of the local Raccoon pack wandered into the Havahart trap on my patio. This one didn’t figure out the Houdini trick to escape and had to spend the night in jail. After being processed, it will need to find a new home away from my patio and Victory vegetable garden.
Spring tulips that survived the winter and deer. Individual images in the slideshow are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
Fancy Daffodils. Individual images in the slideshow are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
Not Houdini. Individual images in the slideshow are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.

Houdini, the Raccoon got trapped then escaped from the Haveaheart trap.
