Hi Everyone,

Yesterday afternoon Beth and I went out in the beautiful sunlit
afternoon to walk trough snow-covered Lake View Cemetery. No Merlin
this time, Mostly Black-Capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch,
Tufted Titmouse and really quite a few Blues Jays. the jays were
vocalizing a lot, and one group seemed very agitated, making us hope
we'd see a raptor,  but no such luck. The best thing we saw--and it
was good--was a couple of Rufous-sided Towhees.

This morning about 7 AM I heard a White-throated Sparrow repeatedly
singing the first few notes of the typical song. Can spring be far away?

Best wishes.
