There was a Pine Warbler in my yard today. True to their name these warblers nest in dry pine woods.
Chipping Sparrows also put in an appearance. Chipping sparrows line their nests with hair so after my spring haircut I scatter the clippings on the lawn. In the fall I've found sparrow nests with absolutely gorgeous silvery linings.
And, high overhead, a Great Blue Heron was on the move. Great blues nest in communal heronries and often have to travel many miles from the nest site to find food, but right now I expect that they're just intent on finding ice free water.
