On Saturday, April 11, after mowing the yard, I sat and observed the
birds in my yard for a while.  At my feeders I had a couple dozen
American Goldfinches, both at the thistle feeder and the hanging
sunflower feeder and not much else except for Tufted Titmouses and
Carolina Chickadees.  In the yard were a couple of Chipping Sparrows
singing, the first I have seen this year, and a couple of Eastern
Bluebirds were foraging but showing no interest in a nearby nesting
box.  I could hear Cardinals and Song Sparrows singing nearby and a
Louisiana Waterthrush was calling about a quarter of a mile away on the
stream where they nest each year.  I think I saw a few Purple Martins
but didn't have my binoculars at the time.  Later, I saw a Ruby-crowned
Kinglet.  Closer to dusk, I saw Cardinals, Song Sparrows and
White-throated Sparrows under the feeders.
