With the warmer temps the birds have erupted around the resort grounds. We still have many inches of snow to melt and 32 inches of ice on the lake but birds are arriving with something new each day. I am hoping I will be seeing the warblers soon. To mention a few of the birds I am seeing: Northern Flickers, we have many foraging around. Purple finches, huge flocks of Juncos & red winged blackbirds. Fox sparrows: I would not have noticed them however their song caught my attention. I will see them singing in a tree or foraging in my flower beds, they blend in so well but the rusty color is distinctive. The purple martin scouts arrived this morning and I am sure it won't be long and the flock will show up. We have had them coming for years and years. We still have a northern cardinal which is exciting for us here in the north. I also have been still seeing the Evening grosbeak here and there, never know when they will be around. One was at a feeder today and later another ground feeding in a different spot. Sometimes I will see around 6 or so, it always varies.
