The big event of birding is the May migration of all the song birds and many others. A few migrants came through in April.
Yellow headed blackbirds (with other blackbirds):
Sparrows in the same Jack Sinn marsh and Harris's sparrows eating flower buds:
Even a snake out of hibernation, prairie garter snake:
An ibis in a local wetland:
Gulls migrating to North Dakota and Canada:
The more rare Marbled Godwit:
Some more shorebirds. An American Golden Plover:
And a bluebird near boxes I take care of.
