Dark eyed Juncos are starting to sing their little trill.

The morning walk thru the neighborhood yielded 2 Killdeer, a flock of Pipits 
and a Barred Owl sitting in a tree.  I regularly hear Barred Owls but this 
is the first time I saw one perched.  After it flew off (guess it got 
nervous about 2 people looking at), I continued my walk.  After a couple of 
minutes, it started calling and a second one responded.

The Phoebe is still in the yard.
