Good Morning:

  Have been able to spend some quality time with my binocs the past 2 days and have been pleased to see a couple of migrants working their way north.  We had 4-6 golden crowned kinglets bouncing the branches of our trees in search of insects.  They spent over an hour outside our kitchen window.  Also have found 2 yellow-bellied sapsuckers, insect hunting, but I am also watching a large knot in the tree in the back, they may be preparing it for a nest.  Also seen at our feeders:

  Red-wing blackbirds
  Grackles
  Field Sparrows
  Juncos
  Blue Jay
  Cowbird
  Chipping Sparrow
  Thrush (in and gone before we could properly ID)
  Goldfinch (One male beginning to show bright colors)
  Carolina Wren
  Robins
  House Sparrows
  Chicadee
  Titmouse

  We have one more day off, hoping the rain will wait until we have the time to sit out and watch the travelers come through.  this is the first time in a long time we have been "bums" and able to watch some spring movement.....I could get used to this!

  Enjoy the birding wherever you are!

  Mary and George Krejci
