** It is hard to get enough of GRAY JAYS [Mésangeai du Canada]. More photos of them seem to be popping up lately. Aldo Dorio photographed one out in the open on a utility pole in Tabusintac on Monday. Gray Jays are no doubt incubating eggs at the moment on their nests.
** Brian Stone used the pleasant warm sun of Monday to drop by Mapleton Park. The RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES [Sittelle à poitrine rousse] were active to give some nice photo ops. Red-breasted Nuthatches do seem to be having a good year. The cock RING-NECKED PHEASANTS [Faisan de Colchide] were showing their brightest spring finery and an AMERICAN CROW [Corneille d'Amérique] was actively gathering nesting material. Their Raven kin are already on their nests, incubating their egg cargo. A welcome sight of the day was melting icicles.
