This morning I watched a female Hairy Woodpecker hop from the deck railing
to the hummingbird feeder and take several long drinks of syrup. In years

The N. Shrike I reported being in my yard last week showed up a short
distance from my house on Comfort Road this afternoon. It was actively
hunting in the fields on the west side of Comfort Road about ΒΌ mile south of
W. Miller Road. Old bluebird houses made an excellent vantage point for it.
Late this afternoon I saw a N. Shrike sitting in a small tree next to the
bird feeders. What a surprise. A few larger birds didn't seem to be
bothered by its presence but there weren't any little birds to be seen.

As I was reviewing the first arrivals list which Dave Nutter provided a link
to, I realized no one has reported a house wren yet. I had one arrive the
morning of April 16. He has been singing around his territory since then.
