Tree Swallows arrived today along the river. Counted a half dozen or so. Red-winged Blackbirds are getting more vocal & spreading out a bit, establishing their territories while awaiting arrival of their mates. 

Not only spreading black-oil sunflower seeds for birds, but my little colony of least chipmunks has awakened & are out & about from their winter torpor & burrows. Have at least 4, all  busy stuffing cheek pouches with seeds.
