Wow. This morning I heard a bluebird around my yard and this afternoon I heard a Robin, in addition to the usual suspects. Doesn’t it do your heart good to hear them!?

It was a delightful morning out in Newfield!
Merlin picked up an Eastern Meadowlark but I can’t get across the skating rink that is my yard to find it. I’m sure it’s there.
On my way back inside I heard my first American Robin here at home!
