More Spring in the Air



In addition to the Swallows (and tree pollen, I might add) I  saw the first backyard Black-throated Sparrow of  spring today. Last summer a pair fledged a nice little family on the back slope of our  property. Maybe the same  this year?  The Anna's rarely put in an appearance now.  My records for 2002 show Black-chinned and Broad-tailed Hummingbirds arriving in March. No show yet!
 
Also, butterflies are numerous this spring, especially Morning Cloaks and Orangetips.
