I had a good day for first of season visitors at my feeder and in the back lot. I had a good look at a Vesper sparrow that I flushed from the meadow up into a tree with the sunlight at my back. I also heard and located a fox sparrow singing up in the canopy. My ebird list is included along with some other "non-regular" visitors. spring brdn, can't beat it.
