Hey everyone, 
Migrants are trickling in and creating spring excitement!!  
To start off, I got a new yard bird this morning when a male Ring-necked 
Pheasant decided to walk down the road in front of my house! 
Newly arrived this morning was a Brown Thrasher that sat at the top of the 
Maple tree singing away. 
Also new in the last couple days were: Winter Wren, both Kinglets, Tennessee 
Warbler (heard singing this morning) Field Sparrow, Tree Swallows, Ruffed 
Grouse. 
I also heard a few Woodcock calling from somewhere across the road yesterday 
evening. 

Yesterday, I birded on the New Albin side of the Mississippi just north of 
Lansing and bagged a Ross's Goose and a flyover Northern Goshawk!! 


It's a beautiful morning this morning! Hope everyone's out there enjoying it!! 
:D

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first 
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the 
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no 
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be 
again."

(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
