Yesterday vs. Today.
Day 94. A few robins and crows flying in the sideways-blowing snow. Some poofy-looking redpolls and song sparrows at the feeders.

Day 93.
Walking around wetlands is pretty great for mental health #ebirdeveryday
(Except this one where the dyke was overgrown with veg and I got stabbed in the eye by a branch and I was stumbling around and tripping on rocks and holes hiding in the grass and I saw no ducks 😒

Day 90. Today was probably my best #ebirdeveryday list yet!
I watched a Northern Shrike go after a Red-winged Blackbird, then hover above the wetland. My FOY shrike! 🤩
Bad pic, but you can tell it's a shrike!
Also good variety of ducks! 🦆🦆🦆

Day 84 (yesterday).
Went birding with the Ornithology students yesterday. It was really cool to have the opportunity to teach them the difference between Barrow's & Common Goldeneyes, also Hooded & Common Mergansers. Also, watching hundreds of gulls fly over us. #ebirdeveryday

Day 81. Same old birds, but now they're singing!
There's a whole new soundscape out there: trilling juncos and redpolls, complex melodies of the song sparrow, harsh-sounding calls from grackles and blackbirds, and the occasional hawk mimic from the blue jays 🎶

Day 67. Today was a very good sort of day. I saw three new species for the year: Pine Siskin, White-throated Sparrow, and Northern Cardinal.
The Pine Siskins were on my lunchtime walk. They were at the top of a 🌲 along with a Red-breasted Nuthatch.
