Bird Day

Birds.  They are all over, especially in the Spring.  Tomorrow is bird day which means it’s your chance to look for and observe the many birds in your area.

Wild turkeys are one type of bird that you may encounter.  In our neighborhood they wander around yards and parks and they saunter across roads holding up traffic.  You don’t have to look hard to find them.

The good news is that if you pay attention there are many different birds that come out in Eastern Massachusetts right around now.

Robins sing and fly around in all kinds of weather so you may have seen them for a while.  However, now they get busier flying around looking for materials to build their nests and hatch their eggs.

You cannot miss the beautiful bright red of the male cardinal. The female is usually not too far away but she’s harder to see as she is not as vibrant as her male.

A bluejay is another bird that is common to our area and these bright blue birds also stand out in the woods.

The Carolina wren is a singer who chirps early in the morning and can be on the loud side when all is quiet.

If you get a bird feeder there is a chance you will see a variety of birds like the tufted titmouse, black-capped chickadee, song sparrows and a white-breasted nuthatch.

One sound you may hear is the pecking of a downy woodpecker.  If he is in the woods, chances are you are safe but if he is close by he may have found a piece of your house, not the perfect situation.

You might not think birds are a cool hobby but they really can be interesting and beautiful to watch.  If you listen closely you will hear their different calls.  It can be very relaxing.

Private Home Health Care hopes you will take some time tomorrow and throughout the warm weather to watch and listen for the birds flying around.  You might enjoy it and become a bit of a bird watcher.
