We woke up this morning to the Robins singing their little hearts out! It's such a wonderful sound to hear at the start and close of each day. I wonder if the Robin will take up last year's nesting shelf again.



Yesterday was a cold and rainy March day. We just happened to catch a juvenile Sharp-Shinned hawk outside. The feeder birds scattered when the hawk arrived. Being a smaller hawk, the Sharpie is a predator of these small birds. He sat in one of the front trees and then went to the fence to get a closer look at the brush pile in the side yard. After awhile, he moved on to the back forest and we lost sight of him. We don't see Sharpie as often as we did see Cooper's or the Red-Taileds, so it was a nice treat.
