Took a short walk on the I & M canal trail this morning in Gebhard Woods in Morris, IL. Several Blue-gray Gnatcatchers were seen as well as E. Phoebe, Brown Thrasher, and Tufted Titmouse.
Back at home I had our first Eastern Towhee in the yard. Also, Barn Swallows as of last Thursday.

Have sharp-shinned hawks mating/nesting in our back yard pine and oak tree.
We have been seen them for several consecutive days. We are hoping they are
nesting and sticking around!
From Jim Haverty:
Saw Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Brown Thrashers on the Old Plank Trail today.
