Beaverton Creek - Spring is in the air!

• Black-Capped Chickadee - call
• Pied-Billed Grebe
• Mallards - males and females
• Great Blue Heron
• Hooded Mergansers - male and female (the female was by herself at first and when the male came over to her she went after him, seeming to scold him)
• Yellow-Rumped Warblers
• Anna's Hummingbird
• Red-Winged Blackbirds 
• Red-Tailed Hawks
• Common Mergansers - male and female (I had never seen these at Beaverton Creek before!)
• Northern Shovelers - males and females
• Wilson's Snipe - researched the call and saw it again in the same spot, so I'm sure my previous guess was correct.  Also we could hear a pair, but only saw one. 
• Green-Winged Teals - males and females
• Buffleheads - males and females
• Northern Flickers - male and female
• Oregon Junco
• European Starling - again only seeing one... so weird! 
• Ruby-Crowned Kinglet 

Early Spring?!
