Spent a about an hour or so at SSP looking to see what was around.
Mostly just the usual birds, but I did find a Blue Bird, something I have never seen at the park before.
Loads of Swallows have returned and are busy bugging and checking out the nest boxes. There are also loads of Flickers all around, but none nice enough to sit still for me.

Thanks for looking
Meghan

Nice, Meghan, especially on the bluebird! Flickers are great, but they hate sitting still...and is that a phoebe you've got there?
Best,
David

Thanks David,
Yes it's a Phoebe, a very poor photo, but my first of the year.
Bluebirds are always a treat, even when it's an unexpected one.

I'll be down there Friday about 9:30. See if you can coax the Bluebird to stay.
