With yesterdays warm south winds and today's warm moist morning it finally feels like spring.
Since yesterday we have had several Rose Breasted Grosbeaks and
Baltimore Orioles in the feeder and the Swallows are back too.
Now if I can just find those elusive Morel mushrooms life will be good.

Add to the list 1 male Humming bird about 1 hour after the wife put up the feeder.

Heard some Whip-Poor-Wills the other evening. Later on, during the Summer Months, the Yellow-Billed Cuckoo & Black-Billed Cuckoo will show up.

The grouse have been drumming in the mornings here. I'm pretty sure most of the snow banks are gone, even Mount Washington is showing a lot of snow-less area. Oh, the surest sign of spring- the black flies are starting to come out...  |

We have not had Whip-poor-wills for severa years now, really miss hearing them. That's pretty neat! I've never seen the Yellow or Black-billed Cuckoo this early. I remember when my family first moved to Vanderburgh Co., in 1971, there were all kinds of Whip-Poor-Wills around. After the area got developed and they cut down the two 80 acres of surounding woods, & developed the fields, the Whip-Poor-Wills disapeared. Now since I move here to Ky I can once again enjoy listening to them in the evenings. Got lots of bird species down here!  |
