Add an Eastern Phoebe. Seen very well, hawking for bugs. A pair of Coopers were seen atop the apartments.

3 'New' Species
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Brown Creeper
Golden-crowned Kinglet
On the east side of the park, the Creepers and Kinglets were in great numbers from what I could hear and see. My birding today was more like a 90 minute chat session. I sure didn't get very far. Oh well, another day. It was wonderful to see everyone returning to the park after being stuck indoors all winter.

Today I added Northern Flicker and Savannah Sparrow to my '2013' list.
It was another beautiful morning at the park. It's hard to believe that ice and snow are in the forecast for the next couple of days!!!
