Our resident raven has at least two, possibly three, new mouths to feed. Noises started to emerge from the nest a couple of days ago. A red-breasted nuthatch is excavating a nest hole beside the driveway. Robins are gathering nest materials, and juncos are behaving amorously, no doubt establishing a nest somewhere underfoot. The junco nests are so vulnerable. Last year, the one I was watching (four eggs) fell prey to a cat or skunk or coon, maybe even a jay. One hermit thrush visited and sang for a couple of days, but moved on. We usually have two or three singing during the breeding season. No sign yet of the ovenbirds, black-throated green warblers, vireos, or hummingbirds that will hang around here all summer. Doug Linzey Arlington
