Warm spring weather and cooperative birds made for a pleasant first walk of the season. Some wintering birds still present included two Red-necked Grebes on the lake, a Golden-crowned Kinglet, and flyover Common Loons in breeding plumage. Early spring arrivals included Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Palm Warbler, flyover Glossy Ibis, and a very cooperative White-eyed Vireo. Good looks at Cedar Waxwings and Brown Thrasher were nice, as well as a pair of Eastern Bluebirds inspecting a nest box. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Catherine Busch, and Chris Marks.
