Stopped off at the Garden after work for a quick look around. Had the usual Cardinals, American Goldfinches, Northern Flickers, and various sparrows. The highlight was watching a beautiful Green Heron come in for a landing at the pond near the parking lot. It moved around a little, then caught sight of me and was off.
Also took a turn around Mud Lake this morning and saw the usual warblers, then I came across a White-winged Crossbill. I thought this was strange, but I'm pretty sure of the ID. I also had a House Finch near the water treatment plant. Here I was looking for spring migrants and finding mostly winter residents. Oh, and I almost stepped on a beaver.
