But first I started out the morning finding this event on the home page of my ISP.
You Tube video of a bird landing on Bernie Sander's podium in Portland, Oregon on Friday. I can't quite tell what it is - some kind of finch perhaps? The rally appears to be indoors. Often birds are trapped in these cavernous places - think of house sparrows in the airport or in a Home Depot, etc.
We still have some cold and gray weather to look forward to, but not today. A sunny, warm Easter at the end of March is unusual in Michigan.
By the looks of these photos one would think it was a very sparrowy morning, but it was actually very woodpeckery - just no woodpecker photos to show for it.
I finally did see my first eastern phoebe of the season. I chose this photo from the several bad photos I took because it is one where the bird's feet can been seen. I'm always struck by how dainty all phoebe species feet are. In chasing after this bird I also experienced the perils of birding in the woods this time of year. Mud.
The best of many bad photos of golden-crowned kinglet. A hard bird for me to photograph under the best of circumstances, this photo shows how particularly difficult is was this morning.

Always a sign of spring.
Enjoy and happy Easter!
