We have purple martins and it is about time for them to return.
I''ve been expecting them any day now, but we had gobs of snow (very rare) on Sunday and a generally cold winter, so I'm wondering.
We usually see flocks of American robins starting in January and I'm just now seeing them in medium-small numbers.
Bring it on, baby, time for spring.

Aggie_Ama - Good to hear your birdies came back! Considering your area has been so dry, I'm sure they appreciate the bird bath, just remember to change out the water to keep mosquitoes from breeding in it. Other birdies will appreciate it too.

Thanks for the reminder Beth. We had a friend get West Nile interning, that was no fun and it is in Texas now. I will try to see if DH will humor us all and snap a photo of those babies. I am not a fan of ladders. And maybe tonight I can figure out this new camera and upload the male, he is quite lovely but I am not sure the picture is.
