The warm southern breeze blew in the first Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher of the year yesterday. Also, I had my first Chipping Sparrow at the feeders. Last Friday, a pair of quail walked through the front yard going toward the area where I saw them earlier in the year. I don't think they found the feeders since they havent been back. Phoebes are building a nest in their favorite spot above the garage door, and there is a dove sitting on a nest in one of the spruce trees, about two limbs up from where it was last year. Now I am waiting to hear the Whip-Poor-Will.....it arrived on April 2 last year.......
