Late March through Arpil roundup.

Culled through my pictures to update the old bird blog.

Here's a sampler.

Here's a few cedar waxwings from a flock that kept coming back to my backyard pecan tree to feed on the tassles March 29 through March 31.



























The next dates for pictures in April 4. Still gettting rain back then, this year often accompanied by Hail. Plus, I found a dove nesting above 5 feet off the ground in my juniper tree in the front yard.




Splurged on a new camera, a Nikon D60 10.1 Megapixel, and the dove on nest photos from 4-10 are among the first I took:




Django, my Chow-mix conered this Possum on 4-15. Took me a while to figure out how to use the new camera to ge this shot.



April 20th was a big day. Here are all the photos from 4-20. Two baby doves on the nest with pin feathers. Momma on the nest and a starling in flight.






The waxwings had plenty of food this spring so they stayed. Here's a pic from 4-25 in my backyard.



Now near the end of the month, here are the baby doves with feathers this time, 4-27.



My new workplace is right on the Barton creek greenbelt right next to Zilker park. Here are male and female house finches, male and female Cardinals, and what I believe to be a pine warbler, though I never got a clear shot as it hopped and moved so much. Pix from 4-28 to 4-30.










Not pictured here are the numerous house sparrows, great tailed grackles, white wing doves and starlings that visited the house in huge numbers. Also plentiful were cardinals, bluejays, Carolina wrens, Carolina chickadees and mocking birds.
