Another walk and some more birds!
This Ruby-crowned Kinglet actually sat still sometimes so I could take some pictures.

Apparently Cormorants fly in "V"s as well as geese (and often neater ones too).

Found a small number of Rusty Blackbirds foraging among some Common Grackles. Notice their shorter tails and overall smaller size.

Can't go birding in the spring without seeing some Robins.

I recorded 31 species on this walk including one FOY; I saw and heard my first White-throated Sparrows of the year. At other times in the day I was able to record two more FOYs as I saw a Lark Sparrow and Peregrine Falcon!
Thanks for checking in!
