So far today I've tallied 30 species on my yard checklist without really
looking (mostly I was indoors doing our taxes). That may be a record for
this early in the year. All the "regulars" put in an appearance, the
mallards are still paddling around in the flooded area out front, and this
morning the first Chipping Sparrows of the season were at the feeder.
Stockpile those photons while you can, folks -- the rain clouds are
returning.
