Pretty typical March weather, I'd say. I checked a few places this morning and picked up WILSON'S SNIPE for a year bird. I was hoping to find FOX SPARROWS and EASTERN PHOEBES at the creek corridor, but no luck. Tomorrow!
Northern Shrike
By the way, I think this is the latest NORTHERN SHRIKE I've ever observed. According to my eBird records, my previous late sighting was March 21st at Pheasant Branch Conservancy a few years ago.
Go north, little feathered butcher bird!
