Today marked the first day we spotted our Bluebirds back here in
Croydon, NH. The pair was investigating our birdhouses out in the
fields.

Other FOY birds of note this past week:
Red-winged Blackbirds
Common Grackles
American Robins
Dark-Eyed Juncos

Still getting flocks of Common Redpolls numbering up to 100 birds at a
time. Like others, haven't seen many Goldfinches this winter. Only seen
about 5 of our resident Evening Grosbeaks, probably because the
squirrels and the Blue Jays are raiding the only feeder big enough for
them. Both bird species occasionally try to take seed from a caged
feeder meant for small birds like chickadees, which makes for some
amusing acrobatics in yellow and blue.

Fields still covered completely by snow so no American Woodcock yet...
