Spring Sing

Hey guys,

I had a great spring day today at the jobsite.  I was the only person onsite today, so it was extra quiet.  I was able to hear a few new FOS songs including:  Hooded Oriole, and Hermit Thrush.   I didn't have any new species, rather an abundance of familiar species.  Nutalls, Downy, Hairy, Red Breasted Sapsucker, and Acorn Woodpeckers all made an appearance.  Hutton's Vireo and Warbling Vireo were active.  Western Bluebirds and Hooded Orioles added some mega color splash throughout the day.  Bewick's, and Canyon Wrens were busy nest building.  Wow, a great day.  Also might have had a Black Headed Grosbeak, but couldn't make a positive ID.

Best part of the day was the Hermit Thrush that had wintered at our worksite started singing today for the first time.    OH YEAH!

  1. Nice Matt.
    I like days where you may not see new birds but are able to enjoy a bunch of beautiful special birds that are always special to see.
    That is sort of like this morning birding for Karahs b-day.
    I have never seen most of those birds though.
