Haven’t seen any speckles yet but we get tons of them in spring but not as many migrate through in the fall. Those eastern kingbirds are ornery and known dive bombers lol.

Nothing new here. The first duck I see is always with in two or three days of March 15th. It has warmed up 74 degrees over the low a week ago. So that is a start.

A big flock of robins showed up about two weeks ago. I have a large holly tree/bush that was loaded with berries. They spent three days and ate every single berry. Tons of berry seed crap under the tree now.


Eh...wot?

Saw one strutting for a hen on Valentine's Day. Seemed a bit early to me.

Redpolls and white winged crossbills have come into the yard lately
Some Bald eagles are migrating up the river yesterday going north.

I have seen Crossbills in the Dakotas, that is one aptly named bird.
