Leuie returns April 7.

Saturday morning Joan caught a glimpse of Leuie, our leucistic male martin and ran to get me from my job , painting the kitchen cabinets.  Sure enough Leuie had returned to his summer home. I was thrilled to see him again.  It wasn’t the best of day to return with a cold drizzle most of the day. 

Today , Thursday of the following week the weather is still cold and in spring like but tomorrow it appears the weather is set to turn spring.  I hope to have the chance to get some good photos this weekend.  

  Tonight I waited till almost dark to see which cavity he would roost in and was thrilled to see Him enter ChirpyNest number 4 located below the T-10 followed by a female shortly after.   Hopefully this is his choice of nest site for 2018.
