I was out mid-day in the cold and wind, but managed to find a bushtit building her nest in a pink and green shrub; a Bewicks wren; and a golden crowned sparrow, still looking more like winter than breeding plumage.

And of course, many of the birds one would expect for the middle of a cold April day. Redwing blackbirds, Violet Green swallows, a couple barn swallows, towhee, song sparrow and both varieties of yellow-rumps. My first pied billed grebes of the year, alongside northern shovelers, mallards, gadwalls, and coots.

I was mostly in the eastern wetland area, I believe.
