What a lovely day it has been although in the breeze it could get a bit =
nippy.=20
We had not a lot of birds but a number checking in and out.  Sparrows =
included Song, White-throated, American Tree and a Fox.  Still Blue Jays =
come. Chickadees, juncos and American Goldfinches are coming but far =
less often and fewer. A few Starlings show up from time to time and =
Robins have returned. There is only 4 or 5 inches of soil before we hit =
the frost so worms may be in short supply. The first Grackle of the =
season showed up this morning.=20
There are a number of Squirrels about still, the well rounded one seems =
to be missing. Is it too early for babies?=20

A Chipmunk came to see what was being offered this morning for the first =
time since winter settled in.=20
=20
There are Snow Drops blooming.=20
We took a drive to Ragged Harbour this pm and there we saw a pair of =
Black Ducks that seemed attached to a spot in the marsh. It was pretty =
quiet there.=20
Lovely to walk on the beach for a bit. There was a variety of flies on =
the beach, some quite small, others much large. Not a bird on the beach =
while we were there but two lovely dogs walked off as we arrived to go =
on. I didn't see Cormorants there but on the Mersey River there were a =
couple last week when we made a run to the vets'.=20
I guess that is it for now, Marg
