I've been seeing 5 or 6 male Indigo Buntings around here the last week or
so. Mostly they're on the sunflower seed feeders but they along with some
Goldfinches were feasting on dandelions yesterday morning. It was quite
entertaining the way they'd keep hopping up until they got a hold of the
head, then would pull it over, step on the stem to hold it down and eat the
fluff. I sure hope eating them deactivates the seed but I have a feeling
that may not be the case.

My mother reported one yesterday - at her tube feeder, of all places - in
Stevens Point. I didn't recall that Buntings visit feeders; but my nephew
also indicated he's seen it occur.

I am surprised they have not arrived yet, and also fearful they did
not choose my yard to return to. Anyone out there spotted any yet?

Hummingbird hovering directly in front of a perched male Cardinal. It looks
as though it is saying..."Can I drink you"? Very funny to see.
