54 degrees! How great does that feel after the cold days we've been having lately?! I went out to Maffitt Reservoir Sunday morning and while there wasn't any sun, there definitely were a lot of birds! I don't have a scope but there were still lots of opportunities to ID birds from shore. Canvasback Mallard Wood Duck Coot Pie-billed Grebe Goldeneye Bufflehead 5 Trumpeter Swans Lots of V's of geese and on the water too And in the trees Red-bellied, Downy, Hairy WP. Nuthatches, chickadees, cardinals, blue jays, juncos. Most surprising of all was right was I was getting ready to leave I saw a Bluebird perched in a tree right beside my Jeep. Great to see him out enjoying the warm weather.
