Look at All the Birds!

FOX SPARROW

Happy to report that we are seeing a lot of returning species to the area! The trees are alive again with singing and birds flitting about. The Tree Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, Song Sparrows, and White-throated Sparrows are here. We are seeing more Bald Eagles, and the Red-tailed Hawks, American Kestrels, and Broad-winged Hawks are here too.
There are many Slate-coloured Juncos! They seem to be everywhere! The American Goldfinches that have been here all winter, are getting their vivid yellow colours back, and are certainly beautiful.

We still have some snow, but it is melting very quickly. Can't wait to see the bay open up, and allow for the return of the American Pelicans, Canada Geese, etc.

Hope you are going to be able to attend the Festival. Our numbers are increasing every day, and we look forward to the weekend very much!
