These creatures can often be heard calling at nights, so it's worthwhile to venture outside and take a look.
Birds and other wildlife have begun to emerge. Robins are making lots of noise, chickadees are in the bushes, and we've even spotted a red-tailed hawk. A few plovers are seen on the beaches, while a scarlet Tanager has been seen in Chatham. We've heard the call for owls. Despite the presence wildlife, the first sign of spring is the arrival and blooming of birds.
After the blooming season is over, wildlife will start to visit the new area. They will bring evolutionary behaviors with them that can make the experience of planting easier. A mama bird may take over a hanging pot and prevent you from watering the plant, but she will protect the baby ducks by driving off any potential predators. Be sure to keep an eye out for animals while you're planting in the wild and to avoid injuring any wildlife.
Many bird species are found in spring. Washington has many birds including ladybugs and eiders. The ducks are also protected by the snowy Owls in the winter. In spring, the Snowy Owl will drive predators out of the nesting area. These two species share the exact same habitat. The eggs of both will lay their eggs in the same place, and the female will have an egg on the ground.
Unlike other birds, hummingbirds prefer areas where they can see blossoming trees. Whether you are a birdwatcher or a nature lover, you'll have a great time learning about the birds that inhabit your yard. The snowy winter days are not the best time to see redbirds in Washington. However, there are still many things to look forward too. In addition to birds, a beautiful view of the Olympic Mountains will also attract ladybugs.
