They were not there as of Thursday AM when I checked, so they are recently arrived. Double check the nest though. At least one survived the winter and that may be the one you saw, and/or they may be re-building it. Had my first Gnatcatcher singing there on Tuesday morning, too. Also E. Phoebe. On Thursday AM there was a Red-tailed Hawk perched in a tree over the creek between the bridge and the tennis courts.
