Heard my first wood thrush Wednesday afternoon at Hickory Hollow on the far
side of the white trail. Lots of ovenbird action too - they all wanted to be
seen and heard.
And eastern box turtles mating in my driveway yesterday in the pouring down
rain. (I'm blushing here.)

I had three Indigo Buntings at our feeders very briefly on Monday. It a first
for us maybe because we have more time to watch these days. Definitely a treat!

We has six male Indigo Buntings show up all at one time one afternoon, eating
the cracked corn we put out for the squirrels and crows. We have also had a
male and female red-breasted gross beaks visiting the feeders and bird bath for
a drink. So far no blue gross beaks, but my fingers are crossed. Also, have a
brown thrush couple nesting in a bush outside our garage. Unfortunately, the
cow birds are numerous this year. Not sure what to do about that. Fun to watch
the crows dueling with the squirrels over the cracked corn.

We have had at least one Blue Grosbeak hanging out with us for over a week over
on Henry’s Creek (often of Indian Creek). My friend Barbara Keeler just a mile
a way on Kent’s Cove at the southern end of Dividing Creek has had both Blue
and Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, and both male and female this week. I was
fortunate to get photos from both properties (while social distancing off
course!)

This morning Edie and I saw Blue Grosbeaks for the first time this year. I
couldn't get a good picture of them, but we saw at least one female, two adult
males and a juvenile male. The juvenile looked funky, half blue and half brown.
