I was gone for most of it. At breakfast, there were white throated sparrows, yellow rumped warblers, downy woodpeckers, house finches, and bluebirds! Dogwood buds were just beginning to pull open. Carolina jessamine has been blooming for weeks.
When we got home, there were lots of birds in the front yard. Two went hiking up the pecan in a very woodpeckerish way, but I suspect sapsuckers. One other bird was definitely a cheeping white throat. In back, I found the butterbutt and a downy working on the suet in shifts. Buffleheads disturbed the glassy creek. Two squirrels needed a room! A flock of robins, and possibly blackbirds, blew through. A great blue heron landed on the dock but the light had dropped too low.
