Seen the past few days: nesting eastern bluebirds; returning purple martins
checking out houses; lots of pine siskins hanging on; FOS yellow-throated
warbler; male eastern towhees singing beautifully; wild turkeys calling to
each other from opposite sides of the hollow; lots of action from pileated,
downy, and red-bellied woodpeckers and flickers; flocks of red-winged
blackbirds overhead; one red-eyed vireo singing a feeble song; barred owls
competing for the most gurgles, chortles, and hollers; and so on.
An added note: right now there are a zillion wildflowers in bloom. Les and I
spent a lot of time in our woods Saturday, delighting in the multitude of
varieties and the wonderful scents of the spring beauties, Dutchman's
britches, and wild sweet Williams. The verdant green of the ramp leaves
really stood out among the deep carpet of left-over brown tree leaves on the
ground. Les and I sat on a large moss covered log on a steep slope,
surrounded by blue cohosh, blue-eyed marys, sessile trillium, etc. Wow! How
fortunate we are.
Cheers,
