I decided to do a little scouting for tomorrow's bird hike at Eagle Slough. It was too nice to just stay inside this morning. I found 35 species with a FOY (first of year) sighting of Brown Thrasher and a lone Winter Wren (FINALLY). I think it is very interesting that I did not see a Winter Wren during December, January or February but finally find one during a record-breaking March day. What a strange year!
Other birds of note were Fox Sparrows, Golden and Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Rusty Blackbirds, Hooded Mergansers, lots of Flickers, Eastern Towhees and Brown Creepers. Spring/Summer weather continues with highs in the upper 70's to lower 80's for the next week. Good things should start showing up soon!
