Saw a lot of "firsts" for the season today, got a few shots in too. :)
Happy Spring-time everyone!

Slate-Colored Junco-hopefully one of the last! They are known as "snow birds" around here.

Male Purple Finch-they've been around a week or so now.

Female Rose-Breasted Grosbeak (saw a male today for the first time this year too but only got a feeder shot)

Male White-Throated Sparrow-this was at Presque Isle State Park and they've been around awhile now.

I think that we have a very few that might overwinter in the county but not right around here. You're not that much further north than me, but do get lots more snow :)

Excellent set Michele. Just saw my male Rose Breasted Grosbeak this morning in the snow. The pics didn't come out though. :)

Lovely series Michele. Purple Finches used to visit my yard every year but I have't seen one return for the past couple of years.
