The Great Backyard Bird Count was a good reason to go birding around our
place this morning.  Noteworthy:



.         First Turkey Vulture of the season flew over the pasture

.         Eastern Bluebirds are chasing each other around

.         Junco's & Titmice are singing high in the trees around the house
and in the woods

.         Northern Flickers doing a 'face-off' atop a dead elm

.         Three Red-shouldered Hawks flying together as they screamed their
"Kee-ahh" calls

.         Woodpeckers everywhere I walked in the woods (Downy, Hairy,
Red-bellied, Pileated)



It was an awful lot like spring out there this morning!
