Was just now watching the feeders to see if today’s rainy weather brought in any spring arrivals & was pleasantly surprised to find a male Lazuli Bunting, with that impossible turquoise blue head, come in for seeds. My favorite spring arrival! Other spring residents shouldn’t be too far behind.

Appears (cautious statement) that the Blue Jay has moved on. Haven’t seen since last Fri nor heard since Sun. But, it has surprised me, when I’ve thought the same, by suddenly appearing. However, I’ve not heard its loud morning or evening announcements since Sun AM.
