Last evening around 5pm I heard that familiar sound and saw one checking out the birdhouse. It’s always so exciting to see them come back. I love waking up in the morning hearing their song. Such an amazing bird and journey they take. I enjoy telling everyone about them. So glad they are back and that I was able to get the house down and all cleaned. Hoping for plenty of nesters and babies…
