Hi all,

  This morning while birding along the creek, I saw 2 Eastern Phoebes, quietly chirping,  then
doing the "phee-bee" call. Last year, the Phoebe arrived on March 14th, so it's alittle early.
  Most of the usual birds in the park today, and Wood Duck numbers on the creek are increasing. The coming rain should be bring them in.
Also heard spring peepers too, lots crocus and snow drops blooming.
