Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.
First Butterfly of the season — an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail feeding on the Rhododendron flowers.
Birds of the Day — Gray Catbird, Northern Cardinal, House Finch, and Eastern Phoebe. The large nestling, in the Eastern Phoebe nest was finally convinced to jump out of the nest. The now fledgling spent the night on a cardboard box just under the nest. I suspect the fledgling is a Brown-headed Cowbird (later confirmed by the reviewers from eBird).
