Just to remind everyone that it is time to get your hummingbird feeders clean and ready, even put them out in the daytime just in case.  I have seen some rubythroats in April, and with their voracious energy use the earliest to return can get caught with inadequate food supply in a cold snap and die.  And please don't feed the birds unless you can commit to feeding them in perpetuity, creating a foodsource for wildlife that you can't commit to maintaining properly endangers their lives.
Make sure you say your goodbyes to the snowbirds before they leave!  And watch for the secretive Canada Goose, you'll be hearing them soon.
Is there an internet dating service for Mourning Doves?  We have a solitary bird here and does he ever sound sad. Sad

Hey, there is a mourning dove in my neighbourhood too! Maybe we're neighbours?!

Maybe, if you live in Kent County.  The good news is that we saw two doves this morning at breakfast, so that means our dove has found love at last!  Isnt it funny how married people cant rest until everyone they know is matched up?  Anyway, i'll sleep better tonight knowing hes not alone out there.
