Bird Sightings in the Vineyard

One of the things that we like about the vineyard is the diversity of life on this land. In May 2016, we had a person from the Audubon Society give us an assessment of the bird life on our property. Since that time, we have been watching and listening to the various birds that inhabit this land.
In June 2016, we were delighted to see a pair of mating Baltimore Orioles. Since that time, the Orioles have returned annually to set up their nest.

Also in 2016, we caught a glimpse of an Indigo bunting, but we were never able to get a good enough photo. My husband is now borrowing our friend's Panasonic Lumix camera and he was finally able to get pictures of the Indigo bunting. Apparently, this is the bird's favorite perch.

We have also seen these birds. We know the Eastern Towhee is around when we hear the call "Drink your tea":

Here are some of the common birds that are not afraid of being near us:

And then there are these birds that can be found in the vineyard, except during turkey hunting season, much to the dismay of our hunter and us because wild turkey is good eats!
