Today (4/3) I saw my first Ruby-throated hummingbird of the season, in 
our yard in Lynchburg.  It was visiting the Coral Honeysuckle vines on 
the fence around our yard. Funny, I was just thinking, "I wonder when 
the hummingbirds will get here," and then there it was.

Bird activity has been really high here in the last couple of weeks.  
Last week (week of March 23), my list included

Purple Finch (the most I saw was 6, 3 males, 3 females)
House Finch
Am. Crow
Turkey Vulture
Canada Goose
Eurasian Collared-Dove (it looks like they're setting up shop in our 
neighbor's tree, where they nested last year)
Rock Pigeon (a new one to my yard...)
Mourning Dove
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Downy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Chipping Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
Northern Cardinal
Eastern Towhee
Eastern Bluebird
American Robin
White-throated Sparrow
Song Sparrow
White-breasted Nuthatch
Northern Mockingbird
Brown Thrasher (first-of-season 3/27)
Purple Martin
Carolina Wren
Carolina Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
European Starling
House Sparrow
Am. Goldfinch
Common Grackle
Red-winged Blackbird
Brown-headed Cowbird
Cooper's Hawk

The activity seems to have died down a lot this week. Then again, I was 
on spring break last week and had more time to pay attention to what 
was going on outside, so maybe they're still quite busy, and I just 
haven't noticed.

Good birding to all!
