Lovely to see you again
There is a Moody Blues song with this title which is so appropriate at this time of the year, more so than usual this year. Last year Spring came early and some birds, like the Red-winged Blackbirds, never left for the Winter. This year Spring has been very late, some birds, like the Bluebirds, that we expect to see in numbers have barely appeared. Real Spring weather started to arrive this Friday, when we hit a high of 64. We have taken advantage of the change to drive around and look at all the birds we have been missing. We have had 14 birds make their first appearance of the year. Below is a list of the birds and the dates for each:
White-throated

The past week has brought in many birds. We have the Fox and White-throated Sparrows. The Chipping Sparrow appeared 2 days ago. Been hearing and seeing the Eastern Phoebe. Finally begininng to see Bluebirds in the neighborhood. After this warm up we are going to get a cool down for the next 5 days. It won’t be anything like what we had previously; most of the snow is now melting. The ice is eroding away on the lake. Ice out? Maybe within 1-2 weeks. It’s going to be very late this year. I am so happy for Spring!
