I walked the trails of Fishtrap Creek/Ellwood/McClure Parks yesterday. It was a very noisy morning with the Pine Siskins producing a lot of noise, there were not too many Canada or Cackling Geese but there was a lot of Gadwalls, Buffleheads and Northern Shovelers around.
I came across multiple small flocks of Golden-crowned Kinglets, there seemed to be a lot of chasing and displaying amongst the males.

I also came across a lone Ruby-crowned Kinglet it was doing a lot of calling but it had no friends around. I suspect they will be arriving soon, if last year was any indication.

In the midst of some very aggressive Golden-crowned Kinglets a little Brown Creeper appeared. It was doing it's usual thing of climbing up tree trunks looking for food and them moving to the next one.

I only saw one Annas Hummingbird briefly but later in the day I had my first of the year Rufous Hummingbird visit my feeder.
