Bird Behaviour — pat morss

Some familiar and some new acquaintances, along with drama in the yard.

An hour after hanging a new front door geranium, our House Finches were checking it out.
On our walk, there was a Baltimore Oriole sampling flower nectar in a tree.
We learned they like fruit. It only took an hour for them to find our half orange.
An observant Gray Catbird thought “I’ll try that.” Once seemed enough.
An adult joined shortly by a young male, with both lit by the setting sun.
Finished dessert.
Anne-Lise saw two Common Grackles continue their fight, hitting the ground.
It was a fast moving tussle, equally matched.
Up again for round two.
Down, but still fighting.
Then the surprise pin with both wings on the mat. Match over.

Margarita Monday Is Back!

Once winter is well and truly over, I like to start celebrating Margarita Monday. I usually wait until the “start” of summer in late May, but last Monday was so beautiful I got started early. (It’s a sacrifice I make for the sake of the blog). Margarita Monday for 2025 started at Minglewood Harborside on Rogers St with a house margarita. It’s my favorite go-to regular margarita on the island. When served by our friend Ryan, it’s especially nice. We chose to stay at the bar but it was nice enough to be outside on their deck. I had a steak bomb and Jim had his Monday sushi. We LOVE Margarita Monday at Minglewood!
