Spring is a frenetic time for birds as it is their breeding season and they are very busy courting, building up their nests and their bodies for the rigor of incubating, and in general preparing for the arrival of the next generation. Last Saturday I took the following shots of a variety of birds carrying out those spring activities.
Flying tissue: a female Northern Cardinal ferrying a piece of tissue toward her nest.
Eastern Phoebe between trilling to attract mate. Updated after Eliza’s comment below.
House Wren taking over Bluebird birdhouse.
Snowy Egret caught first fish.
Snowy Egret caught second fish.
Snowy Egret caught third fish. Â
Such wonderful images … Nothing like building a home with some tissue 😉 Thank you for sharing these beauties

Thank you Julie! Maybe that tissue will be used for diapers when the young ones hatch!

Beautiful shots, Hien. The egret is such a pure white!
I think your second bird is an Eastern Phoebe, not a Pine Warbler, which is yellow. 🙂

Thanks Eliza! I was not sure about the Pine Warbler and was waiting for someone to correct me. Just updated it to Eastern Phoebe.

The photo of the cardinal is funny, and all the rest of them are wonderful portraits of some very beautiful birds, especially the snowy egret!

At first I could not figure out why that tissue was flying among the tree branches! LOL! Thank you Jerry!

The Snowy egret in the water is very beautiful. I can get a good sense of his stillness and patience.

Thank you Lois! As Eliza commented, that Pine Warbler is actually an Eastern Phoebe, and I just updated this post accordingly.
