Action picking up here in Teton County with some newly arriving species in the neighborhood but still fairly quiet. Aspens started to leaf out the last few days. Today found House Wren, Green-tailed Towhee, Brown-headed Cowbird, Chipping Sparrow, and Morning Dove. Last night I also had a Broad-tailed hummer fly over my head at dusk.

What a treat May is!

Susan
