Back to showers

After a few nice days of sunshine, reverting back to showers is a bit hard to take, even though they could be classified as ‘spring showers’.

back to showers

There wasn’t a lot of interest today…

Spotted Towhee

Trilling’ Spotted Towhees and saw a pair of Bushtits but it was showering heavily at the time so couldn’t get a picture of them.  Remember a pair nested in the park last year, perhaps the same pair has returned.

Female Red-wing Blackbird

a female Red-wing Blackbird was at the log bay today, joining the several males that were calling…

Fox Sparrow

There were Song Sparrows singing and also this Fox Sparrow – I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Fox Sparrow sing before – very pretty little song.

Swans headed north

as I was heading back – another flock of Trumpeter Swans were heading north.  Many of them will be at Marsh Lake near Whitehorse, Yukon by the 3rd week of April which is when they hold their Swan Festival.
