Wed had a huge interruption of juncos. They were as thick as black flies. Mixed in was everything from swallows to meadowlarks and flickers...phoebe...and personal favourites the warblers. For about 2 hours Wed the juncos were so thick every branch had at least one (and this area is well tree covered.) The fields are now open and well occupied by all manner of water fowl. Numbers are dropping as the first movement passes through. Sandhill cranes are back and calling loudly Should be an amazing weekend as temperatures are expected to continue to climb. What a change after a winter of nothing but blue jays and chickadees.
