Hi all,
I am pleased to inform that my backyard Song Sparrow is back today morning! He
sang from two of his favorite perches! This is fifth year in a row he has

I saw my FOS pied billed grebes at Montezuma across from Benning Marsh
at just before 10:00 am today. The bald eagles at Mud Lock are still
not on the nest. I understand that this is a new female since she
doesn't have any tags. They are still bringing back nesting materials
and mating,
Ooops, too busy to post this yesterday, but a/the American Kestrel pair has
arrived on Mt Pleasant as of Wednesday afternoon. While I was on my afternoon
walk, I was thinking about how it must be time for them to return by now, when
