The past few days of sunny weather have brought some spring birds to my yard,
the latest (earliest) being House Wren this morning, 10 days ahead of last
year. Today also brought a Hermit Thrush. Yesterday morning a male Brown-headed
Cowbird showed up on the feeding platform, where the Brewer’s and Red-winged
Blackbirds showed it no respect. Evening Grosbeaks are now here daily, the
first 3 showing up on 4/3. The difference is how few I see, but that may
change. White-crowned Sparrows started singing on the 4/7, Violet-green
Swallows first cruised the nest boxes on 4/8, and Orange-crowned Warblers
started calling that day. There is more activity overall, with woodpeckers
drumming and earlier arrivals regular at the feeders, and the Juncos down in
number to those that breed here. Spring!
