Such a sweet song, Patricia! The ones here beside Chocolate Lake started 
tentatively on Goundhog Day but went to full song on the 5th February. 
All of " Maids, maids, maids, Put on your tea-kettle-ettle-ettle-ettle 
". ( I don't have a good ear for bird song, so love the birds that say 
something!) Cheers, Joan
