APRIL 1, 2011 - At Starr's Point and Greenwich marshes,  speckled  
alder shows lots of open hanging male catkins (flowers).

APRIL 2, 2011 - Our first yard grackle of this spring arrived.

APRIL 3, 2011 - Yesterday I heard a fox sparrow in our yard, and  
today I saw it twice.  And despite the quite wintry conditions  
yesterday and today, our resident male cardinal is singing very often  
and persistently, not to mention the song sparrows that are vocal  
everywhere, plus a few juncos singing too.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
