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 Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County Interpretive Naturalist Mississippi Explorer Cruises http://mississippiexplorer.com/ http://swallowtailedkite.blogspot.com/ http://www.nabirding.com/http://www.flickr.com/photos/swallowtailphoto "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."
