With 3 Pine Siskins, 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets and a White-crowned Sparrow showing up in the yard this morning I headed over 2 blocks to Kiwanis Park, which has mostly pine and sycamore trees. Among first of the year birds today were Townsend's Solitaire, Orange-crowned Warbler (very bright yellow), RED-NAPED SAPSUCKER, and more than 30 Ruby-crowned Kinglets. 10+ wintering Golden-crowned Kinglets were still active, 3+ probably resident Red-breasted Nuthatches, a pair of CA Quail, and a calling Spotted Towhee were noted. Unfortunately the Red-winged Blackbirds have found the feeders also.

Get out there and enjoy great spring weather!
