There is a pair of white pigeons at the intersection (T) of Station Rd. and
Bald Hill Rd. They were there at 10:45 this morning and still present when

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
past I have had a family of House Finches regularly drink from the feeder,

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

our flower beds. About 11:30 a flock of 8 Evening Grosbeaks came to the
feeders. After feeding, they hung out in the top of an ash tree for a
while. No sign of them now at 12:30. We also had varying numbers of Pine

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.

downward head movements, playing tag around tree trunks and generally
flitting and chasing each other. Is this normal timing for courtship (early
