Tweets - a frosty but sunny day today, and the sun warmed things up
eventually. A bit of a breeze developed, though, so we never got to balmy.
It was birdy, but we're still just edging into Spring.

Highlights:

GREEN HERON First in 5 weeks, across from Dog Central
Sharp-shinned Hawk One buzzed us along the boardwalk
Cooper's Hawk Juvenile near East Meadow
Red-tailed Hawk Pair display flying at Rowing Club
Wilson's Snipe Two in the slough gave us a look
Red-breasted Sapsucker Several sightings
Hairy Woodpecker Pair at Rowing Club
Anna's Hummingbird On a nest NE of the mansion
Rufous Hummingbird Heard one - first for 2010
Tree Swallow Checking out gourds and boxes
Northern Shrike 2 birds, one singing
Yellow-rumped Warbler Some singing, both races
White-crowned Sparrow Heard singing pugetensis

We found a couple of BUSHTIT nests, but no activity was seen at our brief
stops at them. We found what looked to be a hummingbird nest at the Rowing
Club as well. LOTS of singing today,

For the day, 58 species. For the year, 79 species.
