| Going |
March 27, NDG
-On the way to work: Cardinal alarm from the treetops…Blue Jay noisily policing the skies just above that…American Crows doing the same 50 feet higher…then much higher…soaring overhead, the source of the hue and cry – two Red-tailed Hawks cruising around…just menacing specs…my kingdom for some optics.
March 28, NDG
-11 species in 75 minutes
-It was -10 but felt colder with the wind (‘real feel’)…clear blue skies that later paled
-Buds on the trees, but much colder than is usual for the time of year
-Looking for changes
-No arrivals yet but it’s feeling ‘different’ out there
-American Robins were getting after the sumac and digging in the newly muddy soil…the fast territorial drumming of Downy Woodpeckers echoed through some small woods…Northern Cardinals were heard having laser beam duels
-Hoping for some new sparrows at this spot this spring…I’d settle for a Lincoln’s
-I wonder if the Cooper’s Hawks will nest here again
-Heard the lunatic melody of a House Finch singing in the distance again
