MNSA 1 Feb. I stopped by Oceanside this morning. The usual uncommon wintering birds have been absent for a while, no Clapper Rail or Marsh Sparrows. However, there was a change yesterday continuing into today, American Robins have fond the holly tree (covered with berries) in front of the office. A big increase from yesterday. Over a hundred Robins were circling the tree and feeding`--maybe many more. A roaming flock or early migrants? If the latter, this is about 10 days early.
The Peregrine Falcon box has been refurbished and fresh gravel has been placed on the floor. Today, the cam was showing a pair making breeding advances inside. Spring is on the way.
