Yesterday we saw our first hummer of the season. It came and went so quickly can not say for sure it was a ruby-throated but believe it was.

Also had (for 24 hours) 2 blue-winged teal migrating through; a male and female.

Our robins have been gone for two weeks but did see a lonesome straggler on the highway outside Macclenny.

We have at least 3 pairs of rufous sided towhees who are permanent residents and at least 2 pairs of cardinals.

1 pair of mockingbirds purple martins setting up residence at least 25 goldfinch, about 1/4 showing considerable yellow at least 50 sparrows - primarily chipping but an occasional clay-colored and 1 white-throated seen Thursday.

Hope everyone is enjoying the arrival of spring. Janice Bessinger Baker County, FL 2 miles south of the GA border
