Good morning Tweeters,



The first of this week Turkey feathers were found at the day use area in the
park. While cleaning up the area I found a foot, part of a wing, and a leg
bone that had been bitten in half. Yesterday, a stunning Sun Conure
literally fell from the trees; no doubt a lost pet from either travelers or
from folks nearby. We have not determined which as yet and if not claimed
today, we will lay him/her to rest this afternoon.



On the brighter side, the circle of life is just getting started at Brooks.
Late yesterday afternoon, I noticed Ravens gathering nesting materials.
Western Bluebirds are checking out nesting boxes and Red-winged Blackbirds
are singing from the tree tops. I find it fascinating that there have been
posts of nests and eggs from some of you while we are just beginning to
enjoy the arrival of our spring birds.
