A sure sign of spring is the return of our Rose-Breasted Grossbeaks. So far we have seen one pair, and we typically get at least two pairs that stay for the summer. We also have a Phoebe who has been around for the last few years. This year she has built her nest on top of the garage window by the pond. We have also seen a lot of Gold Finches and House Finches, and our typical Chickadees, Titmice, Cardinals, Mourning Doves, and assorted Woodpeckers (Downey, Hairy, Red-Bellied, and Pileated) are all still here.
