"Yard" Birds
We're having a little more Spring-like weather again following the cold temps and nasty winds we had earlier in the week. The bad news is another front will be passing north of here and high winds will be making a return over the next couple of days. Looking back at a post from last year around this time, I made mention of a really windy day, so I guess it must the norm here in April.
I've had the bath out but, with it being so cold still, I haven't hooked up the dripper as of yet. Robins have found it, though, and, despite the temperature being around freezing, they do like their baths. Must be clean birds. Other birds I've noticed around the campground: Western Bluebird, Pygmy Nuthatch, White-breasted Nuthatch, Northern (red-shafted) Flicker, Steller's Jay, a pair of Canada Geese (!) that flew through here this morning, and a bird that had been singing all week that I finally saw this morning (kept thinking it might be a warbler), Brown Creeper. What had me going was the song doesn't match up that well with the recordings of creepers that I have - close but a little different. There's also a woodpecker around, but haven't had a good enough look to tell if it is Hairy or Downy.
If I can get around to editing, I have some more Sage-grouse video from earlier this week, too.
