First Northern Fllicker sighting

I told a friend two days ago that I had never seen a Northern Flicker and it was on my birding life list. Lo and behold later the same day, I spotted this Northern Flicker in the trees at my sister's house!

Red-bellied Woodpecker sighting

The Red-bellied Woodpecker may be a year round bird on the east coast but I haven't seen one since last winter

Bath time

Keith Harkin plays at the Hard Rock in Philly

And here's the reason for the day trip to Philly ... a concert by Keith Harkin who broke away from the Celtic Thunder tour for the day to promote his solo album.

He was accompanied by David Bakey, who also plays with Celtic Thunder.

Let's just say the trip was well worth the three and a half hour drive!

Hard Rock Philly style

Took a day trip to Philadelphia last week for a concert at the Hard Rock Cafe. We had a blast.

Backyard birding this morning

Hummingbird sighting

I very seldom see a Hummingbird at my house so felt lucky when I spotted this one last week. It should be heading on its migration path but guess it wanted to make my day instead.
