March 9 - 15

Typically, I see one pair of cardinals on any given day.  One day this week there were 2 males.  On the same day, there were also 2 male red-wing blackbirds.  As well, the downy woodpecker, and several robins eating crab apples. The bird of prey was smaller than the red-tail, and I think darker; maybe a peregrine or merlin, but I couldn't tell.

Common birds: house sparrow (several, 2 days), common crow (varying #s, 3 days), downy woodpecker (female, 1 day, male, 1 day), cardinal (1-2 male, 4 days, female, 2 days), mourning dove (1-2, 3 days), chickadee (2, 2 days), junco (several, 2 days), starling(s), robin(s) (6 or more)

Winter visitors: red-wing blackbird (2, male)

En route: small hawk/bird of prey (perched, ID??)

Heard: blue jay
