Anyone have there early purple martin scouts show up yet? I know this isn't martin weather but it seems the early ones come anyway. I expect my first any day now. There's been a sharp shinned hawk hanging around the last month or so. Seen him grab a chickadee and junco so far although he has been the cause of numerous juncos and lately fox sparrows flying into my windows. Good news is I'm sure he will be moving on now, the bad news is its because the resident coopers hawk has arrived. I saw the coopers grab a fox sparrow today. The coopers has been hard on my martins the last couple years. I keep trying things to keep him from harassing the martins but have not come up with a cure yet. 3 inches of new snow today so the feeders are busy! Happy birding!
