During weeks of gray days with drizzle and chilly, we walk most every day waiting for warmth and migrants. Here are some birds that hang out locally and brighten the dismal mornings. This Song Sparrow was singing non-stop and still at it an hour later.

Common Mergansers cruise on the icy river.

We see a few Mallards – this guy was a “puddle duck” on a nearby recreation field.

American Robins are showing up more often, often in traveling groups.

Snow is again the forecast tomorrow but the days are longer, more birds are on the way here. Ginger and I are ready to get out there and see them. Good April birding to you all.
