All,

We had a female Purple Finch at our thistle feeder today.  We are also seeing a big movement of Juncos as we have 40+ in our yard today, about 4 times our usual number.

We also have a Hood Merganser incubating 8+ eggs in one of our 3 boxes.  We think she started around April 1st.  We’ve also had around 8 Wood Ducks staging around the other 2 boxes, but no eggs yet.

48 Purple Martin gourds go up this weekend as they are starting to arrive.  Hoping for a big year.
