March 1 - The birds have returned. Today we saw some house finches at our bird feeder. The blackbirds and grackles have been frequently visiting since we've had nicer weather, but today brought birds we enjoy seeing. Now begins the 3 times weekly bird feeder refills. The girls, Dan and I love to watch all the different types of birds we get to come to the feeders. We even have 2 chipmunks that have been known to gather the seed that falls to the ground. Can't wait to see what winged creatures we'll see this year!
