Adventures in Birding

First Spring Birds, #69

I had my first Spring birds today! Yesterday a fellow birder saw a Yellow-rumped Warbler at Landingville Dam/Marsh area, so I headed out. It was a really active morning and I got a lot of good photos (posted on FB and my instagram  )!

I saw the Yellow-rumped Warbler but I didn't get it in my camera's sights. Later, though, I realized I did get a shot of it later in my walk. I wasn't sure what the bird was at the time. Sometimes I don't ID them until I get home and look at my photos!

I also spotted #69, an Eastern Phoebe, which is a typical early Spring bird. Even though it's still barely above freezing temps during the day (and we had another bout of flurries today), I can now say it's Spring!

I also got to hear Wood Ducks today! They have a crazy sound! They get spooked super easy. It's a dream of mine to one day get a photo of them!

Listen to Wood Ducks here!
