Spring is near!

Seen the first flocks of Sandhill Cranes this morning here in Randall.  

Welcome back noisy critters!

[Bobby Bass]

My neighbors hens are back laying eggs, even the one who does it by my garage!

[Mike89]

have not seen them yet, but they talk!!!

Heard my first Red Wing Blackbird yesterday.  Can't wait till they start chasing every other bird out of my feeders  

[Jim Almquist]

Not sure what it means but had my first Redpoll and a pair of House Finches at the feeder. Also had my regular small flock of Goldfinches that have been around for about a month.

[Hawg]

Wish I could get Goldfinches back, they all but disappeared a few years back. Before that I was going broke buying Niger seed.I wonder sometimes if multiple feeders on the same post or in a small area is a bad idea. 

[delcecchi]

I think I have goldfinches all year, except when I am not there to see them.  

 

But of course they are OD in the winter, not gold.   I only feed black sunflower seeds.

been pretty quiet here for a long time. no snow, no birds. other than a few locals. 

[Hawg]

Eyeguy, you're my early warning system being just south of me. When you start seeing things, I start looking.

I was out and about wetland areas this weekend and saw lots of waterfowl.  Many trumpeter swans, high flying tundra swans, gadwalls, shovelers, a few wood ducks, ring necks, hooded mergansers, , a pair of goldeneyes, and a loon.  I also saw many sandhill cranes.
