4/30/15: .... Here in Union Springs at 2 p.m. the first 4 chittering
"cigars" flew overhead & circled down to the tall chimney on the girl's
dorm. Becky was here & suddenly at least a doz. were overhead. :-) I
hope I am wrong & that they make the chimney their summer home but
somehow I felt they were migrating .... :'( Come back, pretty pretties!
Mama Bluebird is sitting on eggs in a box up on the "hump." Tree
swallows have claimed John's new birdbox on the west end of the
clothesline arm & they let us get about 4 ft. from them, chittering as
we talk softly to them. They have had a lot of fun with the white
feathers I put out on the ground for them.
The male house sparrow guards the box on the east end even tho' he
hasn't yet found a mate. Don't know what's in the other 3 boxes. Surely
the wrens will claim their old house. Crows are in a tree in the
hedgerow. Robins are in a spruce by the garage. Haven't discovered where
the chickadees, cardinals, doves & orioles are yet.
Enjoying spring!!
Fritzie
