Vultures returned last week. Seen perching on roofs surveying the ground closely when snow was still prevalent.
Kestrels back a week ago, hunting the feeders. Now that the snow is receding I suspect they'll move out.
Pond remains iced over. The few Hoodies, Buffles, and Megansers are sharing the river.
Purple finches and song sparrows arrived about ten days ago. One lone goldfinch joined yesterday. First one I've seen in months.
The hordes of Evening Gosbeaks and Pine Siskens have mostly moved on , making way for blackbirds. The Pine Grosbeaks have been gone for two months.
A herring gull did a flyby last week. They'll be back
And "our" meadowlark was joined by flickers and robins last week. Heard it singing once. But when the weather warmed two days ago it was off, as we hoped and suspected.
