When I thought about creating this blog, I wanted to add some of my few and far between birding outings. It's a seasonal thing with me...usually around this time of year I pick it up a bit just because of all the migrant birds coming through. The spring hasn't started out how I'd like weather wise so I just have to take advantage of the opportunities when they pop up. Friday was my first time out in awhile and I stayed local meaning the forest walk just down the street. It's pretty hit or miss most of the time and Friday was no exception. Nothing new for me but one spectacular new bird for the area. This Chestnut-backed Chickadee just appeared out of nowhere and gave me a chance for a couple of nice shots. This is one....

Not much else to see save for a pair of Varied Thrush. I also snapped a quick one of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. I always check them out because of the possibility of it being a Hutton's Vireo which I've seen numerous times on my walks through the forest.

I'm thinking my next time through will yield my first warblers of the season. Can't wait.
