Up at dawn to see what Spring Beakers are stopping in the park as they continue to migrate north. To my disappointment I mainly saw birds that live in the park year round such as the Flicker (photo 1), Chickadee (photo 3), Spotted Towhees (photo 4), and the Western Meadowlark (photo 5). However I did see some first comers (which weren't easy to photograph with my crappy zoom) such as the Cedar Waxwing (photo 2), various kinds of Sparrows, Kinglets, the Yellow-rumped, and the Black and White Warblers: which are the front runners in the Warbler migration. This only means it’s just the beginning of the movement, so I guess I will have to be out @ 5AM next weekend and do it all over again. I missed the Sandhill Cranes already; I'm not going to miss the migratory birds!
