My partner called me at work yesterday very excited about a male Towhee we had
on our back deck. Apparently the bird grazed our back glass door and stood for
a few moments on our deck before flying off. Seems an unusual siting for this
time of year.

Just looking through the digests for the last few days and saw no mention of
robins. We saw about a dozen robins on Sunday afternoon. They were browsing
in a patch of bare grass on swamp college rd in Jacksonville.

Willow flycatchers are back on my road this AM. Now I know it was safe to
remove the snow tires! (Usually I'm not convinced until the lilacs arrive but
they're not out yet...)

There is a bluebird box right in the middle of the small dog park that is often
occupied, so I suspect they'll get used to you. I have wondered at what an
ideal location that box might have. The canine presence likely keeps other
predators at bay.
