March 15, 2012 Grand Vue WARM

We have had nice weather. Summer-like temperatures and sunny days prevail. The forecast calls for more of the same with record highs a good possibility. This early start to spring is leading to some early bird activity. One box at Grand Vue already has a nearly completed nest. I will monitor for eggs. Todays walk resulted in at least five male bluebird sitings. Also I'm now seeing many field sparrows, Towhees, and other typical birds. Grandvue has an abundance of wood peckers that I hope to observe in nesting behavior this year. In addition I saw my first Northern Flicker of the year today.
