In other news....

there are at least three toads trilling in/around the pond. We heard spring peepers on our way home Friday through the areas where there are spring peepers.

there were a pair of Baltimore Orioles at the seed feeders Friday afternoon.

I have deployed the solar burbler in the birdbath in the E gardens. I am very far behind in *weeding* the E gardens, but the birdbath is set up. (It's been chilly and damp, or I've been working, since the middle of April. Maybe I can start to catch up this week... )
