I just watched this today, and once again another great episode Mark. I just wanted to say happy birthday, I'm turning 60 in March myself, the years seem to go so fast now. I live in a heavily wooded area, the one bird I don't see much is the American Robbin. It must be they like those open areas, but I noticed the last few days I've had one hanging by my heated bird bath. He shows up just as the sun is going down, and just stays by the water like a statue for the longest time, very strange, my wife and I look forward to seeing him, it's been three days in a row now. Hope you have a safe trip, I've never taken a cruise, maybe someday.
Thanks so much. We went on one other cruise 12 years ago with the family. This will be a couples trip. Looking forward to some relaxing time and hopefully some new birds. Robins need that water. Good job!
I'm watching the replay. But wanted to let you know I'm watching from Wild and Wonderful West Virgina. I just found a video of yours today. So you're new to me. You have impressive credentials. Obviously, you and your wife love birds! So do I! I look forward to learning from your videos. Thanks
Hello mark happy birthday. David. From st Mary’s ks waiting for orioles to return. I had lots of orioles last year from first week of may to late August had 15 orioles feeders Welch’s. Grape jelly can’t wait to see them when should I have orioles feeders back outside what month? Thank you david
The easiest date to remember is Tax Day. Some years they may be a little earlier (especially with strong south winds during early April) but most will not arrive until later in April.
I’m late as usual, but Happy Birthday!!! 🎉 We went to clean out our bluebird box in north MS last week and found a nest of eggs. I’m uncertain if these are new or old. Should have cleaned it out in fall too, but I didn’t thinking they would enjoy the warmth when roosting this winter. Any thoughts on those eggs? I’m not sure if we should leave them or toss them. I haven’t noticed any birds going in or out. Tia!
@@MarksBackyardBirds Thank you, Mark! They are blue, and since asking my question I’ve seen a pair of bluebirds hunting from the top of the birdhouse and going inside. Seems like this must be an early clutch!!! Thanks again for getting to my question! Happy Birding!
