Distractions
I'm literally leaving for Detroit Lakes in 10 minutes, but I had to get this up. Here are some of the birds that were totally distracting me from my beekeeping duties yesterday:
Not the best angle, but you get the idea: bold black and whites, pinks, indigo, yellow! Couple that with the oriole in the bee equipment, it was a challenge!
I love this lunch date: male indigo bunging and male rose-breasted grosbeak--perhaps discussing female attraction techniques?
The warblers on the suet feeder were really throwing me over the edge. Above is a female yellow-rumped warbler. The birds were so exciting, even Mr. Neil was getting into it.
Look at that, Mr. Neil took the above photo of a male yellow-rump at the feeder--go, Mr. Neil!
Okay, I seriously need to hit the road, but I will do a bee update from the hotel room at some point today.

Off topic, but I found this news article and I thought of you immediately. Good news!

A previously-thought-extinct species has been found in Papua New Guinea!
That there's some fabulous bird variety! Beautiful pics, too.
No wonder they call 'em The Jewels of the Garden! WOW
