Lawrence Woods is beginning to heat up, Butter Butts are everywhere,
Sparrows are singing, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers are drilling, Winter Wrens
were here earlier in the week, but were absent today.

 If anyone is goes there and sees a Waffle House hat in the pond, please
rescue it if you can...the wind was strong today.  :-D

Also went to Gross Woods State Nature Preserve...a little track of woods
outside of Jackson Center.  Looks like migrants will find some food there.
It's worth the detour if you are in the area.  A pretty good patch of
Sessile Trillium getting ready to bloom near the front if you are
interested in that.

Lists of both areas below.

Happy birding and God bless,

Steve J.
