Last week we were rain/snowed out so it was good to get out birding again. Despite the chilly conditions, the red-winged blackbirds were singing, fighting, and chasing in full force so you know spring is near. We went over to Centennial Trail to try and scare up some bluebirds, but the only blue birds there were jays. Spring migration has started so don't miss a minute of it!
