[Birdtalk] Re: spring arrivals

[Matt Mills]

As a follow-up to Colby's e-mail, I had a singing male
SPOTTED TOWHEE on the south side of BYU Campus on
Friday (March 14th) and a TURKEY VULTURE flying over
the same area on Sunday, March 16th. 

As for JUNCOS, I've heard many singing and even seen a
few engaging in chasing one another around. Just a
question - do Juncos breed at lower elevations? If
not, do they pair up in the valleys and actually move
to higher elevations together? 

Many other birds have been singing here in Provo
lately, especially house finches and starlings. An
AMERICAN ROBIN singing on Wednesday (Mar 12) on 500 E
300 N in Provo was a first for the year for me.

Take it easy,
