Spring is near

Hello from Buddy's Backyard!

Are you all practicing the "Stay at Home" yet? my state had just issued an "almost" complete shutdown. I'm on Day 4 self Quarantine; so far I haven't gone insane YET.

As far as Buddy's Backyard goes; We have at least 11 does that comes and two bucks, there was an 12th deer but for the first time since having deers.

We have Red-Winged Blackbirds! It's been hard to take pictures because they been singing up in the trees!

Herbert our chipmunk has appeared again!

Today I saw our first Grackle! I don't know how many are here yet, they might have been here with the Red-Winged Blackbirds.

Our Goldfinches are slowing getting their color back; I even saw one today that had more yellow than the others.

I've seen a nuthatch, which been awhile since I've seen one. We had a fairly red house finch I wasn't sure what kind of bird it was because I thought maybe it might have been a purple finch.

We have a male red-bellied that still hangs around, I've seen our Hairy and our downy woodpecker every now and then.

Hopefully, soon more birds will show up and while during my self-quarantine that I'll take some of this time to take pictures.
