A Groundhog started digging a nest into the rock wall supporting my patio. I need to deal with this before it destabilizes the wall. ARRG!

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Birds of the Day — Northern Cardinal, Black-capped Chickadee, House Finch, Gray Catbird, Mourning Dove, Red-bellied Woodpecker, and Tufted Titmouse. I’m having a hard time differentiating the female/immature House Finch from the immature Brown-headed Cowbird. One of my photography mentors called all small brown birds LBJ’s (little brown jobs). Good practice to photograph birds, but will drive you crazy trying to identify.
