Hi everyone.  This morning at Lake Aquitaine, 8-10am.  Too many birds to list at the moment but wanted to comment on 2 in particular, both at SE end of lake:

1.  Rose-breasted Grosbeak (male) singing up a storm.  Gorgeous bird!   :D

2.  Partially-leucistic female American Robin (white head and back, dark eyes, pale orange chest) - gathering nesting material, flying in & out of woods with a male.   8)
