Notes: One of the first spring-like days of the year and it looks like the locals were on territory and not coming to the feeders until later. With all but one, new birds, unusual for this late in the feeder ringing season, we seem to a have captured a few wanders.

Sightings 38 Species: There was a noticeable increase in bird activity today in the fields and hedgerows around the feeder.
