Lots of yard work for me today. I kept hearing a 'chink' call note from the back yard but kind of shrugged it off. Later on I was walking to my shed in the back yard and a couple of Field and Chipping Sparrows popped up and then a Male and Female Blue Grosbeak flew up into the low scrubby brush. That was a nice surprise. It seemed early to me.
