More Outside U.P. Discoveries!

We have been seeing more Partridge
this Spring than ever before...
which is a great sign
that winter
was gentle on a lot of the animals up north this year.



He didn't let me get very close with my lens before he flew away on me!:






It was so great to see things budding and bees pollenating!:















And, the Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks came back!:














When driving on a road past a river this Spring,
I spotted this heart-wrenching sign:
It sure reminds each and every one of us to remember to "Seize the Day!"
and how very, very short life is.







I love me a group of tree mushrooms against a bright blue Spring sky!:









And on textured birch bark:









We HEARD this bird before we saw it and then photographed it.
I don't know what it was.
Can someone tell me??:








Here is another view of it:

I know it wasn't an Evening Grosbeak,
and I know it wasn't a Goldfinch....



We haven't had one at our feeders, ever:


So, just leave me a comment to educate me on what the bird's name is?

I know my Blogger friends are so much more knowledgeable about bird species than I am....
Thanks!!!
