I had a flock of Brown-headed Cowbirds visit my feeders yesterday and this
morning I saw a pair of Eastern Bluebirds in courtship while walking the
dogs around the neighborhood. A mixed chorus of Song Sparrows, Mourning
Doves, Carolina Wrens, Northern Cardinal, and House Finches all made it
feel very much like spring. If only it was true.....

Have a great week!
