First hummingbirds of the season arrived yesterday. That's about 8 days ahead of any other year since I've been keeping track (15 or more years).

Last night there was a pair of Northern Harriers hunting over the fields here. They are nesting somewhere in the boggy part of the farm where the black willow grows.

I checked on the Wood Frog tadpoles that I thought might have killed by the freeze-up a week ago, but they're all alive. They are out of the egg membranes now, but still hanging around and feeding on the gelatinous mass of the egg membranes which is anchored to a couple of submerged branches in the pond.

Yesterday, the White-throated sparrows that were at the feeder, were replaced by White-crowned sparrows.

Some friends from around here were telling me that they saw their first dragonflies of the season yesterday, so I'll be watching for them today.

Weather is great here. Lots of work to do in the gardens so I'm staying outdoors from dawn to dusk most days now. Fantastic.
