Today while trying to determine where exactly our property line lies I flushed 
a Carolina Wren from a very low spot.  I immediately stopped moving and took a 
very close look not wanting to disturb a hidden nest.  She has quite the cozy 
nest spot on the ground at the base of a tree.  It's just a little hole in the 
leaf litter lined with moss and white hair.  There are five eggs.  I had a 
quick look and moved on.  I did mark the tree to keep my father and husband 
from tromping over it while clearing a new fence line.  
I also spotted a pair of Blue Jays building their nest.  Heard Downy 
Woodpeckers and saw one male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

All the little birds are busy preparing for spring.  I am ready!
