More signs of spring: Jack reports

This morning I heard a Cardinal singing by the Azalea Pond. And a Red-winged Blackbird sang once by the Riviera (complete song this time, not just throat-clearing gurgle).The Pied-billed Grebe at the Reservoir is getting the black band on it's bill.

Only 42 days until the first Phoebe! (That's to my date, St. Pat's day)
Jack Meyer [will be leading bird walks during spring migration!]


PS from Marie: St. Patricks is March 17th. My earliest Phoebe record is on March 12th.

PPS Now that the Red-winged Blackbirds are singing, you might want to read Bob Levy's book about his adventures with redwings in Central Park. It's called Club George: The diary of a Central Park birdwatcher.
