Just as the temperature ranged from brisk to springlike, the birds included both winter residents and migrants, both heading north into their breeding territories. Joining them were our year-round residents. A good number of sparrow species were observed, and both kinglets and several warbler species made an appearance.
Birders formed into four groups, with Alice and Rahil co-leading one group. Time spent in the field was up to seven hours.
