Welcoming Spring

Sarah and I spent the last afternoon of winter birding the Tillamook area on the Oregon Coast. We rounded out our winter bird list with sightings of three migrant species: Turkey Vulture, Tree Swallow, and Violet-green Swallow.

We have now started our spring bird list with an Osprey being the first species unique to the season. It will be interesting to see which season produces the most birds in 2010.

  2. That's an impressive list. I am now up over 200 species for the year. I need to take a look at my stats again and I hope to post an update soon. Good for you!
