I had two purple finches this morning in my yard on the feeders. I also heard a Northern Parula in the neighbors' pines. Seen also, was a female bluebird sitting on top of the bluebird feeder, although nothing was in the feeder. DRATS! About 10 feet away, is a bluebird box. I don't know if the bird inspected it or not. Usually, the chickadees or house wrens take it over. It's a beautiful day to go birding. Too bad, I have lesson plans and laundry to do. Ann D. Tallent Maryville, TN.
