Don't you love it when you ask someone if they've seen any good birds lately, and they reply: "They're all good birds"?

At the risk of offending all the Saint Francis of Assisis of this world, I would like to report three good bird sightings of late in my own backyard in recent days.

On Thursday afternoon, I saw a Broad-wing,

On Friday night, I had my first Common Nighthawk.

And yesterday afternoon I had a Yellow Warbler that flew into our old Christmas tree (above) before flying up to the shrubs next to the house to catch insects.

Not bad!
