and many a young critter's fancy turns to thoughts of making more young critters.
It's cute (and hardly voyeuristic at all) to watch courtship behaviour at this time of year. Male turkeys strutting their stuff, blue jays tenderly passing morsels from beak-to-beak and the air full of romantic songs from finches and robins and loons and frogs and the wind whistling through budding, but still mostly bare limbs.

Our pasture sounds like an amphitheater, I kid you not. Those frogs are really singing up a spell! It's mesmerizing.
One time I was sitting outside hoisting a few and the locusts were in full swing. At the moment they quit, the crickets took over. I was like, wow, that hand off was impressive!
There has been a lot of activity at our bird feeder. Hubby filled it up (both seed & suet) and it was all gone within a week. He filled it up again yesterday and the seed is about half gone already. But, to be fair, I saw one sparrow making a mess and flinging all over the place. I don't know if he was making sure that the doves didn't have to try to get on the perch to get food or he was picking out the seeds he likes. My guess it is a latter.
But, I have seen the male cardinal feed his lady love today as well as the titmouse doing the same.
In the past week I have seen:
-The sparrow hoard (they always come for breakfast when we are reading the paper)
-Starlings
-The cardinals
-The titmice
-A bluejay
-A nuthatch
-Doves
-Chickadees
-A woodpecker
-A purple finch
Those are only the ones that I have seen this week. Who knows what else paid the feeder a visit.

We're just about fully leafed out here. Lots of birdsong, too.
