We had a few Redpolls in the yard today, only ones heard or seen this year.

First Pine Siskin this year at the feeders was 2 days ago and Purple Finch today

House Finch are regulars, but I had a first ever of a Finch with Greenish/yellow on it.

I had a couple of new yard birds this week. While I was BBQing all the birds flushed, I didn't see anything but then I heard ? what turned out to be a Peregrine, now perched above in a spruce.

This morning I had a Meadowlark on the backyard lawn, I managed to get outside with the camera but it kept going around the raised beds. While I was stalking it I heard something I had never heard, I got My phone out and opened Merlin Sound ID. Each time it called I got Meadowlark, it was coming from outside our yard. I have heard them singing on the Prairie, but have never heard a call before.
