The Sparrows have finally arrived! Terrapin had hundreds of sparrows today, in several areas. I kept looking for hawks, who surely would have noticed the bonanza. The marsh ponds were barren, but I expect there’ll be ducks there soon.
I also stopped at CBEC, which was slow, but had some distant ducks and a few cooperative nuthatches.
The Bay Bridge from Terrapin beach. It was seriously windy today.
This is a Golden Crowned Kinglet.
This appears to be a Chipping Sparrow.
I don’t recall seeing a Ruddy Duck out of the water before.
Brown Headed Nuthatches are small and fast.
Song Sparrows were also numerous.
I often find White Throated Sparrows on the ground.
I was lucky to catch this Ruby Crowned Kinglet with his”crown” exposed.
Dark Eyed Juncos were numerous.
