The birds are returning. The birds are singing. Discounting those robins who have been about all winter, there are some early reports of red-winged blackbirds and turkey vultures, signaling the return of spring migrants! Come look and listen at the monthly bird survey at Hildene on Saturday, March 16, meeting at the Visitor Center at 8 a.m. For more information, contact Randy at swvt-birdwalk@usa.net.
