While checking boxes at Kiwanis this week I spotted the following.  The 
highlights were my first of the season ruby-throated hummingbird, a 
Carolina chickadee incubating her eggs, and the spotted sandpiper that has 
been hanging out there since Tuesday.  
The red-bellied woodpeckers appear to have nestlings now.  I have seen 
both of the adults go into the cavity and leave after about 20 seconds.   
They did this several times.
Lord Baltimore put on quite a show in his brightly colored orange and 
black robe.
