Chipping Sparrow, Eastern Bluebird, Tree Swallow, Purple Finch, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet all seen today.  Woodcock and Phoebe returned last week, matching what others have reported, as well as our local Mallards and Belted Kingfisher.  Sapsuckers were heard in late March, Song Sparrows also returned in March.  A flock of 20 American Robins and 15 European Starlings overwintered along Bradford Lane area, the robins fed primarily on sumac, the starlings loved our suet.

I had a very active feeder but this was our first year at this new location so no previous history to make comparisons.
