I had my first Eastern towhee for the season, this evening in my  
backyard....beautiful rusty colored sides.
Also one female purple finch,  pair of chipping sparrows, Mr. &  Mrs. 
Cardinal (male feeding female), and Mr. & Mrs. Woodchuck wobbling  through.  My 
goldfinches have returned this season., 2 downies, 2 red  bellies, 2 flickers, 
mourning doves, 3 white throated sparrows, along with the  blue jays, house 
sparrows, house finches, titmouses;  the robins seem to be  enjoying the bird baths.
I have planted highbush blueberry, dogwood and arrowwood viburnum, now  that 
I am learning about native plant species.  Listening to the yard is  just as 
entertaining as watching it.
All in all, a beautiful spring day.
