I grabbed the camera and there was a Rose-breasted Grosbeak male holding forth and as I was trying for a better photo, the female joined him. Cute! > There was a solitary male Cowbird this am and the treat of all the sightings, there was a hummingbird sitting on the clothes line! A male. No photo as it was gone when I got the camera swung around and up for the photo. > No sign on Swallows here yet. Usually the Hummingbirds arrive after the Tree Swallows. There doesn't seem to be much food in the air so I suppose that is a good thing. > We drove to the Gallery, now on Lincoln and there was a House Sparrow on the wires just outside the door! When I Gallery sat over on Duke and Pelham, the door was usually left open in good weather and the House Sparrows would fly in and poke about a bit then fly out again. I liked that. > We headed back to B'water and turned right off the road onto Glenn Allen and at the ball field > there was an Osprey on the pole right there on the right. > Oh and we saw two turtles sunning on a log on the right at the spectacle lakes headed toward Lunenburg. > > Spring!!
