Well - I finally had my official first sunrise birding of the season this morning near one section of slightly open water on the WI River and then a drive down the road to fields and mixed forest. Mother Nature played an April Fool's joke on me though. It was QUIET!! I did get 2 FOY out of though. I guess I have to start somewhere! I did hear and see a few things: Common Grackles - heard and saw Red-winged Blackbirds (My FOY) - heard and saw American Crows - heard and saw Blue-jays - heard American Goldfinch - heard and saw Black-capped chickadee - heard and saw Common Raven - heard American Robin (my FOY) - saw Pine Siskins - heard We are expected to get more snow today!
