Wow! That's early for goldfinches. Can't wait to see them in my yard!

Goldfinches are back in my yard now too!
Still haven't seen barn swallows here though so I haven't put out my hummingbird feeders yet.
For anyone that has put them out already, have you seen any hummers?

I saw a goldfinch today. I also have a couple of barn swallows, but no hummingbirds yet!

Has anyone ever seen a Cardinal in the Brandon area in the summer? That’s one I’d like to see. Orioles should be around in a week or so.

Cardinals are not generally known to be in this area or in Manitoba at all historically. But there has been some spotted in Winnipeg here and there over the years. I remain hopeful I'll catch a glimpse of one someday.

Orioles are back now too! I guess that's the last of the birds that come back for summer?
