11/25/19 Robins have been bountiful and noisy for weeks now. Not just making pony noises - making proper Robins-singing-in-the-Spring noises.
11/24/19 Saw 4 Red-tailed Hawks at 84th and Ward Parkway.
11/15/19 Got all of the San Diego and Florida pictures posted and new birds added.
11/04/19 Processed San Diego pictures. Will post those and some Florida pictures in a week or so.
09/26/19 Found the first pink Inornate Pyrausta Moths in the Pitcher Sage for 2019. We were traveling and probably missed the climax of blooms and moths.
07/24/19 Our once abundant Garden Phlox crop has reclaimed its crown after suffering for several years from Plant Bugs. I don't know what happened to the bugs and why the plants are now thriving again.
07/23/19 I've never seen so many juvenile Northern Cardinals in the gardens. The adults have been wildly successful this year.
06/03/19 After 3 or 4 days the baby Robins are now gone. The nest looks roughed up so I'm guessing Raccoons.

06/01/19 Still haven't seen any baby bunnies this year.
05/31/19 Robin and Cardinal nests in the yard.
05/11/19 A Three Oriole Day.
05/10/19 Annual visit from an Indigo Bunting. We get about 30 seconds every year. Baby House Finches are in wing display mode.
05/06/19 First Baltimore Oriole on the feeder. Saw him around the yard yesterday but never caught him eating.
05/05/19 Returned from vacation to find our Catbird here (with a "friend") but no sign of Orioles. Oranges and jelly untouched.
04/27/19 Chipping Sparrows and White-crowned Sparrows are here.
04/14/19 Thasher splashing around in the bird bath. Yellow Warbler of some sort flitting around in the elm tree.

03/30/19 Still have a yard full of Juncos.

03/16/18 Saw loads of Turkey Vultures around the neighborhood.
03/14/19 Crocuses are blooming.
03/13/19 Robins are starting to show up in the visual and aural landscape. You can hear them mixed in with the din created by Cardinals, woodpeckers and wrens.
03/09/19 Seeing Turkey Vultures around town. Still no Crocuses and no Robins.
02/12/19 First "Petunia! Petunia!' from a Cardinal.
01/31/19 Cardinals are warming up more consistently.
01/28/19 Saw and my first Cardinal singing! And crocuses are above ground, so....
01/01/19 You should start to hear some intermittent laser fire from Northern Cardinals in the next few weeks!
