I always look forward to seeing the return of two very special birds that visit my feeders in the spring.
They don't stay long, just grabbing a nibble on the way to their summer homes.
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (male)
Baltimore Orioles
Juvenile
Male
And, I always enjoy the flowering of my Aquilegia Canadensis.
(Canadian Columbine)

Hello, the Grosbeak and the Oriole are both beautiful birds . I did get to see one Grosbeak last week for a short time! Great yard visitors and photos! Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post! Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
Pretty welcome visitors, huh?
Great shots! What kind of feeder is that in the second shot?
Hello Karen!:) Oh my! What spectacular colours these birds have, and you took great captures of them. Lucky you to see them in your garden!
Your feathered friends are just adorable, Karen!
It looks like you are having a wonderful spring.
Have a great weekend!

Beautiful bird shots.
Two wonderful birds to have in your garden Karen.
Your birds are so colorful. We have orioles too, but it is bigger and almost fully yellow-bodied. They have wonderful shouts.
love your garden guests :) And Columbine is a favorite flower :)
Gorgeous birds at your feeder and lovely photography ~ thanks,
Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
Thank you for sharing your wonderful Spring visitors. I have never seen a rose-breasted Grosbeak in real life -- maybe someday I will be lucky! Beautiful Columbine.... I am more used to the blue ones (they are Colorado's State flower and we usually see them when we visit our family there)... but I love the Canadian one ... even more colorful.
Lovely visitors.
Such beautiful birds at your feeder this month, Karen! I enjoyed seeing the Canadian Columbine since we see Colorado style Columbine here.
Two gorgeous looking birds, I don't see them at my feeders. I had an oriole one winter, but that one was the only one I have ever hosted. Beautiful columbine!!
I love migration!!!! You lucky birder!
Yes, I too love these birds and these are great photos Karen...Michelle
Such beautiful photographs ...
All the best Jan
