I would like to see less of the House Sparrows and Starlings. The Grackles may have moved on. And possibly the Juncos. I did not see any this week. The Goldfinch have been turning yellow and over the past week may have made the transition. The Cowbirds have been hogging my feeders. The big thing for me was the return of the Purple Martins. I love watching them and listening to them. Today it looked like they might be mating. Here is my list for the month. Here in north central Arkansas on the southern edge of the Ozarks. Was excited to see the Brownheaded Nuthatch. Only saw it twice.
