Hi all,
 While out taking the dog for his early AM walk, a pair of bluebirds  visited 
one of my nest boxes, with the male perching on top, wing-waving then  going 
inside it. The female was nearby. Now I have to go make sure they are all  
cleaned out.

At Blue Mash this morning, nothing exceptional, but seemed like more  Am. 
Tree Sparrows than I've been seeing, as well as Red-winged Blackbirds  
conk-a-reeing from the tops of the trees around the small pond. Nice to see them  back 
in numbers.
 
Ducks were few, mostly Ring-necks, a couple of Buffleheads, a few Hooded  
Mergs, Mallards, and yesterday PM there were Green-winged Teal, but not today. A  
Great Blue Heron is hanging out at the big pond. Lots of juncos around, a few 
 Swampies, Song, White-throated and Field sparrows too. Lots of 
Golden-crowned  Kinglets about, with chickadees and titmouse, plus some Purple Finches 
yesterday  PM.
