Yesterday a.m. I had two yellow-headed blackbirds in my feeder. Red-headed blackbirds are common to our yard, but yellow-headed have only been seen once before, two early Springs ago. I also observed several high in a locust tree elsewhere in my yard. The common grackles that have been showing up the past week were really harassing them.
I also continue to watch a pair of kestrels going in and out of a screech owl nest box we have in a cottonwood tree. I am hoping that they will settle in soon. I actually have delayed construction of my granddaughter's swing set in the area near the box so as not to disrupt the interest of the kestrels. When might they start laying eggs?
