This morning I woke to my favorite sound of early spring, the exuberant,
spilling song of a Winter Wren in the valley by my house, next to Shindagin
Hollow State Forest. Six days later than I noted a winter wren's first arrival
here last year.

Sorry for the delay, I was out all day. My pics are up at

Please forgive the bad quality, the bird was far away and there wasn't much
light. But hopefully there will be enough information there to i.d. the bird
successfully.

Well at least some NORTHERN BOBWHITES made it through this winter, as this
morning at 10:15 I saw a covey of 10 off in a field on the south side of Route
79--just west of the intersection with Snyder Hill Rd, in fact.

This morning as I woke I thought I heard the clear sweet song of a
Rose-Breasted Grosbeak. This was confirmed for me when a stunning male RBG
showed up at my feeder after I put the seed out. In Brooktondale, at edge
of Shindagin Hollow State Forest (slightly out of basin).

a singing WINTER WREN
along a steep incline for a half hour, but never got an eye on it. That is
my nemesis bird and favorite singer. If anyone comes across a cooperative
one, please let me know!
I also found a ROBIN settling into a very photogenic nest.
Such a beautiful day out there!

Yesterday and today a single, very shy Rose-breasted Grosbeak has been
fleetingly seen at our feeder. Slightly out of basin, on Shindagin Hollow
Rd. in Brooktondale, but thought folks would be interested. Happy spring!

At my feeder today, a male and female Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and at my
orange I just put out today, a female Baltimore Oriole. The RBG is 9 days
later here than last year, the oriole 4 days later.
On Shindagin Hollow Rd in Brooktondale.
