It's been a long winter, bird traffic has been very low.  Cardinals, Juncos, Sparrows and Downy Woodpeckers.

Until today...Cow Birds and the first American Gold Finch.

Started looking for a hummingbird feeder to replace what I had, normally put it out any time after the 5th of April.

Cold and cloudy, light snow

• Mourning Dove's first visit in quite some time
• a pair of Downy Woodpeckers
• and a pair of Cardinals.
• Juncos, 
• Black Caps come and go and who can't forget the 
• Sparrows.
• Still no finches.  We've had them before, but we are noticing that since the trees in the back have been cut down, our activity is not the same as in previous years.

A number of Glaucous gulls flying through the trees, weather is on it's way in.  All white with black at their wing tips.
