Sorry for the long delay in postings, but we just finally got back to New York and have all , well...most, of our ducks in a row. I'll be more punctual in the future. Travelling home from our son Brian's home in Connecticut this morning, we stopped at Bent of the River Audubon Center in Southbury CT in search of spring migrants. We were thrilled to see all the action at the feeders in spite of windy and raw conditions. A beautiful Ruby-throated hummingbird, goldfinches, Indigo buntings, and Baltimore orioles all sang and filled the air with wonderful sights and sounds. But the highlight of the day was the incessant wooing of a disinterested female Rose-breasted grosbeak by a would-be suitor. He danced, he vibrated his wings back and forth at a frantic pace and pursued his lovely target only to have her flit away as if he wasn't even there. Love is not always kind. Maybe next time.....
