Towhees are amazing, Jack. Song sparrows are usually mixed in with them, for some reason.

I love when they visit . I especially wait to see and hear Varied Thrushes. Among the most beautiful deep woods songs I've ever heard.

My first two robins showed up late yesterday early evening, around dusk. Love to hear them sing.

Boat tail Grackles pulled in this morning.

I was gone last week, but when I got home the Red winged blackbirds and Grackles were here, Also a Bufflehead was resting on the pond.

Was out and about today and saw the first Turkey Buzzard, Wood ducks, Kildeers, and a Meadow Lark of the year.

Spring peepers heard singing last night and it was 75 here yesterday with a couple Dragon flies out and about. Domestic ducks have been laying for a week now.

Bunch of robins out picking worms in the yard and geese are pairing up, flying over morning and evening to their local spring nesting areas.

Saw about 50-60 sand hill cranes in a field along the highway , next billboard was for a seed treatment to discourage the cranes from eating your seed.

The cranes can't read...

Been seeing a few robins and buzzards. Not many doves yet.

no but what a sales pitch to any one on their way to the seed dealer

I suspect the seed treatment makes the crane sick so it stops eating your seed before they have a half mile of a row un-planted
