Another edition of Backyard Birds

Roger Simmons, March 17, 2025March 17, 2025

Sometimes I go to see birds and sometimes the birds come to see me. Here’s the latest edition of Backyard Birds, featuring the return of Northern Parulas.

Parulas are colorful little gray, white, yellow and orange warblers who visit the area during breeding season. They are usually found high up in trees — as they were in an large oak in my backyard. They have a very distinctive song, with a trill sound at the end.

Also dropping by were some Tufted Titmice, a few warblers, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet as well as an appearance by the resident male Northern Cardinal.

And though they were in my front yard instead of the back, some Cedar Waxwings stopped by every so briefly. I hope they come back.
