[Maine-birds] Spring arrivals in Machias

This weekend I had a flurry of activity at my feeders in Machias, ME. While I have had a Fox Sparrow and several American Tree Sparrows throughout the winter, I had a Song sparrow and a White-Throated sparrow make their appearance on Saturday. 

In addition I had first of the year Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles. An interested side observation was the second time I have had a Ruffed Grouse in my yard.  

The Cardinals and the Tufted Titmouse that have been periodic visitors through the winter have both started singing this past week.

Spring must be in the air.
