The fragrant pink flowers of Early Azalea could be found gracing the thickets today. Blue-eyed Grass brightened the fields. A moth called the Dogwood Thyatirid was flying last night. As you might expect, the larval food plant of this species is Flowering Dogwood. And in the Phoebe nest tucked up under my barn there are five eggs, a normal first clutch for this species. Often their second clutch will be just four eggs. While the female phoebe incubates the second clutch, the male teaches the just fledged first brood everything needed to survive as a phoebe.
