Yesterday was a good bird watching day. I was out at Mark’s place planting some of my garden (just the potatoes so far). Out at his place in the country (he lives about 3 miles away from me), I saw 5 red-winged blackbirds, a house finch and a red-headed woodpecker. Back in my own back yard, I saw the usual assortment of robins, sparrows and mourning doves, but I also saw 2 male goldfinches and a female goldfinch at my finch feeders. And I saw a bird (I think it was a house finch, but it was a little too far away for me to be sure) checking out one of my 2 birdhouses. Spring has FINALLY sprung!
