Yesterday my wife Lucia and I were captivated by two Pileated Woodpeckers working on the same snag in our backyard by the cove. Hoping for a nest!.. We have resident Pileateds all summer, but I don't think I have ever seen two of them at the same time on the same tree! Spring! Bob Knight

A real treat this morning to see a pale grey ghost flying over the tidal flats and surrounding area - a male Northern Harrier - magnificent in the sunlight. Yesterday, several Pine Siskins were mixed in with the American Goldfinch flocks. Also a flock of voracious and aggressive Robins took over the mealworm feeder! At least four Fox Sparrows have been here several days. Oh, and an Eastern Phoebe singing and sitting on the barn roof!

As the snow melts again, right now there is a handsome Northern Harrier skimming back and forth over our fields, floating just a few feet above the ground. It is strikingly white underneath with black wingtips, pale gray on top, with white rump.
Hooray!
