Two more species in two days, a pair of blue jays and several brown headed cowbirds (ugh). That makes 26 species so far this year. Haven't seen a blue jay in the yard for a couple of years (since West Nile virus first hit this area). I was very happy to see them.

The wood thrushes raised at least one young 'un successfully. We've seen it in our yard a few times. The original pair moved a couple of blocks away and seem to be nesting again. That is so neat.

There are lots and lots of eastern cottontails around here this spring.   I got to watch two of them chasing each other around the yard, jumping up in the air, etc. I wonder if that's a bunny courtship.
