Man, you go away for a fortnight, and while you're gone, all the spring birds start arriving! Just in at the farm this week: fox sparrow, chipping sparrow, tree swallow...
Fox sparrow. We had three under the deck feeder yesterday morning.
The chippies got in this morning, according to my sources at Indigo Hill. Eating suet dough they were.
Red-winged blackbirds, common grackles, and brown-headed cowbirds all got in a week or so ago. With these first two waves of arrivals, I'm left to wonder: can the blue-gray gnatsnatchers be far behind?
