Took a little look around today to see what was to be seen.
A Say's Phoebe was at the northeast corner. Looking at the records, this is the earliest spring sighting for Say's Phoebe. But given how early things are this year it's not all that surprising.
With an American Robin for scale

Along the runway at the northside was a lone Horned Lark
No bluebirds were seen but they should be around in decent numbers soon especially as we get closer to April which seems to be a good month for them.
I dropped by to see Jack on my way out. An American Kestrel was hunting over his fields and two Tree Swallows were checking out his nest boxes. Fairly quiet there too otherwise. Jack's keen on the upcoming spring migration and is open to having birders to come for a walk this year again keeping in mind to be respectful and courteous of course. His place is always very birdy so his generosity is much appreciated!

That's the earliest I've ever heard of in our area!
