Sitting on our porch tonight, we had our 1st Catbird and 1st male RB Grosbeak. Also have bluebirds with 2 nests & eggs.

Yesterday had Purple Martins investigating my new Martin house for the first time. Pretty exciting! Also first Baltimore Oriole yesterday, first House Wren and first Chipping Sparrow. Had a Ruby Throated Hummingbird this weekend. Also nesting Bluebirds with 5 lovely blue eggs in one of my houses! Yay Spring! Art Check Nevada Sent from my iPhone
