Greetings!

Well,Things are starting to ramp up as the first wave of migrants (other
than Blackbirds) are starting to filter in to Lawrence Woods.
Yellow-bellied Woodpeckers are starting to appear (They have been absent
all winter.)  Pheobes are calling. Yellow-rumped Warblers are in the button
bushes at the pond. And I had two Hermit Thrushes back along the back side
of the boardwalk. Plus Field Sparrows are singing out in the prairie.

My two lists are below, they are divided by the prairie and the
boardwalk....BTW, the prairie is surrounded by three roads, so it is much
more vast than what you can see from the driveway. If you drive along the
border roads, nearly everything that isn't developed is part of the
preserve.  One might be able to spot prairie type warblers later on in the
spring along the back side of the preserve.

Happy birding and God bless,

Steve J.
