Blue-grey gnatcatchers calling in the yard, snazzy looking goldfinches hanging on the thistle sacks and a Wood ducks flying back and forth. So far we have the foundation of a bluebird nest in one box, 3/4 of a chickadee nest out back and a completed Thrasher nest in the Pyracantha. Bleeding Hearts are up about 4 inches as are the Peonies and Allium. Great to listen to the chorus of birds in the morning-including the Red-bellied drummer on the gutters. Julie K. Chester
