Today was another very warm day with temperatures making it into the mid 60's once again and I took the opportunity to get the water feature opened up for the season (after melting the last of the ice in the water reservoir). I finally got it operating late in the afternoon and within a short time the camera captured two species coming in already (Black capped Chickadee and Red breasted Nuthatch). Really looking forward to see what species show up at the new water feature which I got late in the fall season last year...spring should be interesting for sure. I also checked the duck boxes again today after noticing that two of three had been visited by ducks in the last few days (the wood shavings had been moved around and a depression made in them). Today turned up the first egg of the season (I assume it is from a Hooded Merganser once again as that is the only species I have ever had use the boxes but there is always a chance a Wood Duck will finally use one of the boxes...stay tuned).
