Hello all=2C
=20
As usual=2C signs of spring are scarce here on the south side of the Val=
ley. The only new-for-the-year species of bird that I have seen here in Tr=
emont this month is a Brown Creeper that has been here since 12 March. Oth=
er than an occasional "fee-bee" from a chickadee or a "kill-deer" from a st=
arling=2C the chamging numbers of finches here are the main avian clue to t=
he season. They are evidently on the move this week=3B goldfinches have be=
en variable=2C but there are still about 25=2C while an influx of a dozen C=
ommon Redpolls on March 10 is now (March 16) down to three. =20
=20
Around the area=2C though=2C waterfowl are arriving and dispersing to an=
y small open wetlands. On March 14 a pair of Hooded Mergansers had joined =
the pair of Amer. Black Ducks in open water at the marsh at west Margaretsv=
ille. Let's hope that they stay for Sunday's field trip and are joined by =
more migrants. Many of the wintering birds such as Rough-legged Hawks=2C =
Snow Buntings=2C and Lapland Longspurs seem to have moved away from their w=
inter territories but may still be in the area. If you have seen some of t=
hose this week=2C any early migrants=2C or other uncommon or interesting bi=
rds=2C please contact me off-list=2C so that the visiting birders on Sunday=
might have a better chance to see them.
