The Curve-billed Thrashers have been busy around last year's nest. Mrs. has been on it a lot... got a chance to check it out this afternoon and there are three eggs! I looked back on the old forum and they are ahead of schedule. Last year I posted this topic and they were finishing the nest on April 29.

A mix seed is ground fed at the brush pile, year round. Also, grape jelly and raisins. Sunflower feeder, thistle socks and suet are late fall thru early spring. 3 Hummingbird feeders are March through early December.

Three already! Do you suppose they're expecting an insect boom earlier this year because of all the moisture you've been getting?

	We're on the Jersey Shore, a few miles from the ocean. Have Oak trees, a few Holly trees and some Pine trees. We supply mixed seed, sunflower seed, suet, peanuts and jelly. Also have two birdbaths in summer, and one in the winter that's heated.

In regard to the bugs - it'll probably be a boom for sure - many are already around.

They hatched (just a mess of 'black goo/fuzz and egg pieces' the day before we left for Austin (the 8th)).
