				Glad I found something to celebrate, lovely flock of Gold Finches created a racket this morning, possibly a comment on the weather.
Most exciting happening in our orchard, it looks like a pair of Bluebirds have settled here, spotted them when I was standing in front of a blooming Forsythia, which in my estimation is about 2 month too late and a what looked like Mrs Blue bird settled on a branch of an apple tree and as I was contemplating if it is, or isn't, Mr Blue bird joined her, amazing color, no mistaking him.
Any interesting bird visitors in your back yard?

				We are having a really late spring.  Birds are slowly coming back.  This flycatcher was here yesterday.  I don’t know what kind it is.  I get several that are here for the summer.  They are fast and often in the trees and bushes so I don't always get good pictures.

				I have been hearing the woodcocks calling, but I don’t often see them since it’s usually dark when they start.

				2 bald eagles flew over the other day.  I didn't have my camera with me.
There have been 2 of these thrushes here for about a week.
