I dropped by the feeders on Hilda Road twice in March, in the first week and then the last week.
The first visit there seemed be a lot of grackles around, but when I got home and looked at my photos more closely, they were red=winged blackbirds having returned earlier than usual.

A tree sparrow was checking the ground for seeds

And there was evidence of raccoons having visited for a snack as well

Later in the month we spotted a red squirrel pretending to be an African meerkat. A female cardinal was not looking to be in her prime


A crow had come down to a lower branch to see if there was anything of interest. He decided not.
