Folks,
Dick Prickett discovered a pair of Eastern Phoebes this morning at Phoebe
bridge in Chatfield. Last year, it wasn't until April 18 that there were 2
EAPHs. Other birds-on-the move seen today:
Cinnamon Teal - Walker gravel pond

Red-tailed Hawk) was enlivened by two flights of White-throated Swifts
streaking over Dinosaur Ridge.
