Spring Birding: Round 1
Saturday, March 22 was a beautiful day! Although it was a bit windy, the birds were quite active and I got good looks at many species! I also got to add 2 new lifer birds to my list - a Varied Thrush and Winter Wren (first seen last weekend). I hope you enjoy the photos from my first round of true Spring birding! Sign up to join me for a Wednesday Walk & go with me!
