We’ve been called that before!  Also, Joyce squared, the Joyces, Joyce 1 and Joyce 2, big Joyce and little Joyce, and probably some less savory things!

 Joyce Bender and I visited Reformatory Lake in Oldham County this morning. At first the Trumpeter swan was very sleepy as was the two mute swans, but then they started moving around and preening, presumably as it warmed up. While we were there, two flocks of Sandhill cranes flew close overhead. On the way back, we took a detour to Bennett Field and got a brief look at the rough-legged hawk reported yesterday by David Bailey and Andrew  Melnykovych. Lots of kiting kestrels and red-tailed hawks and another flock of about 27 cranes on the drive. Beautiful day! When we left Northern Franklin County for Oldham County with temperatures of 32 d, there was quite a bit of snow along the roadsides, but on our return with glorious, much welcome temperatures of 56 d and sunny, much of the snow and ice had melted. 

Happy Birding!
