One of the best things about spring and fall is the surprising
combinations of birds that one can get, especially after the weather
clears following the kind of rain and sloppy conditions that we had this
weekend. I didn't have a lot of time to bird today, but found a
delightful mix of summer residents, winter residents, and transients in
only about three hours:
Blue-winged Teal (10);
Northern Harrier;
American Coot;
Common Snipe (21);
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker;
Purple Martin (6);
Tree Swallow (11);
Northern Rough-winged Swallow;
Barn Swallow (3);
Brown Thrasher (4);
Blue-headed Vireo (2--spring firsts);
Chipping Sparrow (8);
Vesper Sparrow (6, at 3 sites--spring firsts);
Swamp Sparrow;
Purple Finch (3).

p.s.--also found half a dozen McDonald's Weaver-Finches, two of which
were removing eggs from the nests of Brown-headed Cowbirds.
