Martins are Back

[DrCase]

I saw my first Martins today while i was out enjoying a beverage
Spring must be near !!!

I think what we have are barn swallows. Not sure if they are the same thing or not. But they don't show up till the weather warms up and that's a long way off here. I love the way they swoop down on ya when ya mow the lawn or just walk outside. Pretty little flyers!

The robins are back here in huge flocks, they show up in the spring, then move on for the summer. Some stay, but most move on.

I was outside yesterday trying to finish my fence build and I had to get the hose out to wet the cement and heard what sounded like a bee buzzing well it was not a bee it was a humming bird flying around the empty feeder I left up over the winter because I was to lazy to take it down .I filled it and gosh did he suck it down .So guessing spring is really here .Usually don't see them until the end of March or beginning of april

I have tried for two years to attract Martins and still none. Not sure what to do about that. Our yearly barn swallows have begun making their nest on our front porch (again). I love spring!!

Thanks for reminding me sissy as I need to remember to put my hummer feeder out that I bought last year up soon! I love those little buggers! We have a ton of robins and maybe Thrush's but not sure what they are.
