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

Spring perhaps? Well, not quite, but it is coming.

We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

So few birds these days – when will spring come?

I am a compulsive record keeper. When I had a large record collection, it was recorded on the pc.
