20 species spotted in March. 29 for the year to date here in north Arkansas. The highlight of the month was the arrival of the Purple Martins. The first arrived on March 29. Females arrived March 31. The cowbirds have almost taken over the feeders.   Male goldfinches are beginning to get their caps and I seen one that has turned gold completely.
