I started birding in the snow and ended up staying out for a few hours. There were many, many thrushes around, mostly Swainson's, some Hermit's, and one Veery. Also Gray Catbird. For sparrows, I had Song, Lincoln's, Chipping, Clay-colored, Lark, White-crowned, and one White-throated Sparrow. Also a Green-tailed Towhee. I added one Orchard Oriole to the many Bullock's. Warblers included the usual suspects plus Yellow-breasted Chat, MacGillavray's, and Townsend's. Other birds of possible interest were a Peregrine Falcon, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Warbling Vireo, Eastern Kingbird, Least, Dusky, and one or two dozen unidentified Flycatchers, and many soaring pelicans. Before I left my development I also had a Northern Mockingbird just to kick start things. Not a bad day.
