Rare bird outlook




The next few days will be interesting. Thursday/Friday is a big southerly flow and mega-warm temps... I feel like we're at a point in time where some really notable birds could arrive.



What will it be? Black-necked Stilt? More Avocets? Yellow-throated Warblers? Glossy Ibis? Little Blue Heron?

Or something really crazy like a Townsend's Warbler?

We're so darn close... I can personally say I haven't had nearly the same  "building anticipation" as past years - with this freezing cold weather - but we're so darn close...
