Birding

Maybe it's spring!  Birds are coming back, some that I didn't see last year.  Some recent shots of birds:

Avocets: we went kayaking in one of the marshes.  This family must be on eggs already.

Marsh Wren:  We were surprised he stayed as long as he did while I kayaked right up to him.

Bullock's Oriole:  Mark and I had seen some of these at a park, but when we got home this guy was in my yard!

Black Chinned Hummingbird:  There are a few hummers around right now.  There's also a female, that we've had the chance to watch this little guy dance for.

Lazuli Buntings: I had about 5-6 of these little guys feeding.  They are skittish, but i got pretty close to the feeder and sat still.  They came back!
