We're watching a few snow flurries here in Knoxville today after a
beautiful spring-like day on Saturday gave way to a much cooler Easter
morning.  Redbud winter perhaps?

I've been jealous all winter of folks that had winter finches showing
up at their feeders; so I was happy to see our first PURPLE FINCHES
of the winter on Sunday (3/23) -- two males that only stayed long
enough to pose for some photos.  I hadn't seen a Junco or either of
our Red-breasted Nuthatches since 11 March but both species returned
to the feeders on both Saturday and Sunday.  One of the few touches
of spring we've had so far were two BROWN THRASHERS that showed up
on Sunday.  A Great Horned Owl was heard briefly Sunday evening while
I was walking one of our dogs; first I've heard from him in some time.
