First, our kestrel is back!

Also song sparrows are here in numbers and some are singing.

A killdeer or two are back, as are woodcock.

It's that interesting transition between winter and spring with winter birds heading north (tree sparrows, juncos) just as the spring migrants are showing up. Nice to hear some birdsong right now.

Saw one American Kestrel hovering over lower Coburn Ave. neighborhood in Skowhegan late yesterday (Mar. 26) afternoon. FOY. This was just after I had returned from checking places in Madison where I usually see the first kestrels each year but did not see any yesterday. Will

Always a great day when we see our returning Kestrel on Berry Road in Buxton!

Also treated to a nice flyby of two Bald Eagles slowly making their circling, zigzag way north against the stiff NW’ly breeze.

Hope everyone is healthy and safe!
