Barry was at the FWG and commented that the day was much less windy, and there were many bees around the willow flowers. He got this excellent shot of a honey bee coming in for a landing. Barry also noted that he saw a phoebe and northern flicker in addition to the juncos, goldfinches and other regulars. A hawk "exploded out of the New Woods by the barn and got chased toward the IC" by starlings. He said it had a long straight tail and was likely a cooper's hawk. Lots of things happening around the garden as spring comes on, including less desirable activities, such as a possible fire by the Old Field (it is that time of year again!), and a dog running into the pond. We need those signs back up there!
