Hi All:
My first Chipping Sp. of the season returned " home " on the 7th.  Nice
to hear those trills again.
This morning I heard the cause of all the alarm calls before I saw it, a
big COOPS cruising through on the look out for a snack.
I was disgusted to see a stinkin` ***##!! house sp. trying to stuff its`
fat self into the 1" entrance to a nest box being guarded by a pair of
distressed chickadees intent on setting up house.  I hope the sp. give
up and that my little friends will prevail.  Last year, their eggs were
ruined by invading house wrens.
All the reports of incoming warblers are KILLING me, as I`ve given
priority, for the moment, to getting a jump on our
landscaping/naturalization project. This work does give me a lot of
enjoyment as well though.
