Besides the other singers people have mentioned, I was especially pleased
yesterday to have Fox Sparrows singing near the house. Sometimes they go to
the breeding grounds before singing much, but this year I have bribed them
(and others) with seed patch in the shrubs. It worked ;-]
We now have in the area pairs of both Red-tailed Hawks and Red-shouldered
Hawks. Today one of each did a very noisy chase all around the trees.
Not songs, but first Rufous HB (a female) in our yard on 3/4, using
forsythia blooms and the HB feeder, since our red-flowering currant is still
in bud stage.

The local house finches at my home in sw Eugene have suddenly started singing. Also this morning some brief songs from BC Chickadees.
