One week after Spring arrived, no much changes in PP. Some bird sps slowy are increasing their numbers (eg. NOFL, EAPH), others the opposite (eg. WTSP, DEJU). But no drastic changes in species, so far.
To my surprise, I saw 1 of the RTHAs carrying sticks to their nest in the vecinity of Nellie's Lawn. I saw other having breakfast with a Grey Squirrel, by the Ravine. And around the lake, 3 sps herons: Great Blue, Great Egret, & Black-crowned Night-Heron.
Three RNDUs in the Upper pool were a nice surprise.
