["Dan Mooney" <dmoon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yesterday afternoon we saw our first northern rough-winged swallows and barn 
swallows for our neighborhood this year.  There was also a truly scraggly 
looking broad-winged hawk working its way north.  It was missing some flight 
feathers as well as a couple of tail feathers.

This morning I heard a prairie warbler singing along the ridge behind our 
house.  It was a first for spring for us.  It is the first I have heard in at 
least 30 years. I was able to hear it thanks to a new toy I got last week which 
shifts the pitch of the song down into a range I can hear.
