I hope everyone enjoyed the nice weather this weekend. I went for my weekly walk and although there was nothing overly rare I had a couple new species for the year for me. I had 2 DC cormorants and 2 common mergansers fly over. Good numbers of cackling and Canada geese flying over as well.
I also came across a bushtit group and I think this is probably the most success I've had with a bushtit photo:
Overall 27 speceis for the morning and added a lone goldfinch in the afternoon.
Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii) 85
Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) 60
American Wigeon (Mareca americana) 3
Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) 8
