All in one day: the phoebe showed up and started inspecting the outhouse and the root cellar for possibilities...the partridge began drumming, and now the woodcocks are out over the garden doing their zzzzzz circle and drop-peeennt thing! So Spring is well underway now!

Ironically, I also have a phoebe building a nest. While I was planting the corn today, I saw that a pair of bluebirds are also building a nest in one of my birdhouses. Yesterday, I saw an oriole, a bird that is rather uncommon here, as I have only seen three in 10 years. My hawks are feeding their chicks..
