Index of Subjects Hmm. ticks, yuck.!! That reminds me I found one on me, in the night and should go see what I did with it. Steve was working in the woods yesterday and they will be our first of the season. We haven't found any mayflowers open yet right here but there were small bouquets on the tables at the Hunts Point supper last evening, I am told. At the feeder we have more than a couple chickadees, two male Brown headed cowbirds, two female brown headed cowbirds, Juncos; male and female, mourning doves, although the numbers are ever dwindling , a couple blue jays from time to time, two different American goldfinches, one showing lots of yellow and another with whites being the highlights. Very attractive. The red -winged blackbird is here still, no sign of a female, though. Sparrows are song, and white throats. Other than that the usual crows, a red breasted nuthatch and a small hawk, male and a female Purple finch past through very quickly. oh! Robins, many, robins. I think that is it. Still no hummingbird at the feeder. I do not know what it is I see from time to time buzzing the top of the maples. What else can be that small and fast? I put out three feeders and so none have been visited by little birds other than juncos, chickadees, finches and a blue jay and the little chipmunk had a sip too. It seems to have sweet tooth.. Very few, if any bees, sadly, a few wasps and some flies. A bumper crop of lady bugs both inside and out, oh and a deafening spring peepers chorus last night. Yeah! Frogs everywhere in the wet areas. I think that is it! What a beautiful sight it was last evening with that moon shining out over the water...just magic!
