This afternoon I saw my first Turkey Vulture (definitely NOT a creagle)of 
the year soaring over Lazelle Woods Park in northern Franklin County.  

The Eastern Bluebirds haven't yet returned to Lazelle Woods but I did see 
a couple house hunting at Emily Traphagen Nature Preserve in southern 
Delaware County.

Also at Traphagen, I heard and saw downy and red-bellied woodpeckers 
drumming, saw a male northern flicker chasing away an interloper, and 
heard an American Woodcock and a Killdeer.
