The number of grackles is increasing and my FOY killdeer was heard today. Bluebirds and many other species were singing UNTIL the wind began.

Last night as I was outside enjoying the warm southern breeze, I heard the sound of spring I have been waiting for! Two woodcocks were calling and doing their courtship flights overhead. That wonderful chirping, "dripping water" sound surely means that more warm evenings are on the way.
