Yesterday I saw my first fly of the year, warming itself on the outside wall of the centre. Today I saw 3 chipmunks, a couple of flies, heard the songs of Brown Creeper, White-breasted Nuthatch, Black-capped Chickadee, Horned Lark, and American Goldfinch. Woodpeckers have been drumming for over a month now, but very frequently today. The Red-bellied Woodpecker was very vocal, also. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the temperature was warm, and the sap was dripping.
Keep your eyes open for Common Grackles and Red-winged Blackbirds in the next couple of days!!
Back to winter tomorrow, I guess!!
