New species for the year include :
Killdeer - 1 at Gabriel Dumont Park
Snow Goose - several flocks over Gabriel Dumont and the river.
Red-winged Blackbird - 1 at Chappell Marsh
Greater White-fronted Goose - A flock of 50 flying over Pike Lake
We had our first Dark-eyed Juncos in our yard last night around 6pm. I have been seeing this species off and on over the past couple of weeks, including a few at my local park.
I'm looking forward to seeing more, along with the migrant Sparrows, Warblers and much more over the next few weeks.
Here are some new photos from the past week :
Western Meadowlark
Northern Harrier
Black-billed Magpie
American Tree Sparrow

Lovely photos! I look so forward to heading south and seeing my first meadowlark of the season!
Stunning shots Nick. I'm sure I can hear the Meadowlark's song even though I'm far away!
Great shots of some spring migrants.
Blessing,Ruth
Great shots again Nick.
That Black-billed Magpie looks very similar to our Magpies' over here.
...just beautiful. I always love seeing your photos. The little American Tree Sparrow has such a jaunty little look to him...
Thanks guys :-)
I love that meadowlark... now, if yo could just add his song to the photo. ;c)
Gorgeous Nick,
These picture look just like Spring post cards!!
I would still love to see a meadowlark..I didn't realize how big these birds were...for some reason I thought them to be much smaller!!
Thanks for looking :-) Yes, they are about Robin-sized, and boy can they sing!
All beautiful Nick! I don't think that Meadowlark could open his beak any wider! LOL!
Excellent shots Nick the shot of the Northern Harrier hovering is incredible great work :)
Thanks everyone !
