Random Spring Updates

All trees are in leaf out, seemed as though it happened overnight. Backyard is a sea of green!

A few days ago:

Today!:

The army caterpillars are out in full force.

There was a termite dispersal event near the shed, Sophie ate some of them (?).

Put up a fourth nest box. So far we have one chickadee family and one nuthatch family, other two are empty, though we have seen birds checking them out.

Vireos arrived yesterday, heard both red-eyed and yellow-throated.

Siskins and goldfinches still around.

And, swifts in the chimney roosting every night. Are they ours?
