Tweets - we had a really nice morning, and while it didn't feel particularly
birdy, we had lots of good stuff. It was COLD to start, and while the temp
went up more than 20 degrees during our visit (37-59), it didn't start to
warm up until 9:00. That sounds like I'm a whiner, but we'd been birding 3
1/2 hours by 9:00...

Highlights:

Wood Duck Several males, 2 females with 'lings
Blue-winged Teal Two males at weir
Cinnamon Teal One male with BWTE's
Green Heron One flyby
Short-eared Owl Scott had one early in the East Meadow
Western Wood-Pewee One in Big Cottonwood Forest
One near park entrance. First of
Spring.
Swainson's Thrush One south of East Meadow
Western Tanager Several males around the mansion
Black-headed Grosbeak Female already with nest materials
Evening Grosbeak Heard overhead many times. Glimpsed.

On my way home, a Red-breasted Sapsucker flew across the road from the main
park entrance - Species #70 for the morning.
