Chickadees are beginning to sing . But March is the time they always look for real estate.

Still lots of snow but warmer. Saw a Song Sparrow and have more Juncos coming in. None of those are singing yet.

Too much snow yet for robins, but I always like seeing them arrive. Really like their song. Every year the ones who camp here for the summer have their own unique tweak in their song.

I remember when some were collected and the person putting them up " un-crossed " the bills
It is one bird that can nest in any month of the year...and has the largest dispersal rate east-to-west-north to south when they move.
Banded ones in Manitoba went to NY the next year then showed up in Utah the following year nesting in each new spot

A lot of snow geese in southern nebraska today.

Robin at the ranch for about a week now that I have noticed them. A lot of geese and other birds I been hearing.

Seen the first blue birds today....clean out all the bird houses.
Got to 55 today...

I've been seeing the large flocks of European Starlings that typically come through here in late winter/early spring.

I tell the wife I'm going to blast a bunch for the granddaughter and I to eat. We've done that a few times, they're tasty.

Eu starlings that go into the deep south come back mimicking Road Runners
no wonder they were first used as a parlour bird when brough over to NA.

First Red Wing Black bird this morning, 5 days earlier than normal.

Nothing says spring around here more than red-winged blackbirds in the cattails.

none here yet

Finally seeing some Canadian geese here.

Snow geese went by a couple days ago, some Red Wing Blackbirds showed up yesterday intermixed with the Starlings.

Just before the rain and snow this weekend saw the first Sand hills in our area. Have been seeing some new arrivals at the bird feeders. I am not a good bird identifier, so I don't know what species many of them are.

We have had robins and geese all Winter, but I've been seeing more in the last week. We even had some kildeer stay here all Winter. It doesn't seem like there's been much here for them to eat. There's a bumper crop of night crawlers and I'm starting to have a lot of mole mounds pop up. I haven't heard any spring peepers yet, but it should be soon.

First stink bug today, does that count?.......jk

Turkey vultures are here. Of course many never left...just like the robins. Been a hummingbird or two working the feeder all winter long.

The buzzards officially return to Hinckley, Ohio on March 15th of every year, even though many stay in Ohio all Winter because of all the roadkill. They celebrate the buzzards return every year.

Had a Robin singing at day break, Now a snow shower .

1 spotted towhee (formerly rufous-sided towhee) showed up this morning.
