Last NDG birds of March

Cooper’s Hawk Accipiter cooperii

American Robin Turdus migratorius

Woodchuck/Groundhog Marmota monax

  Birds! Here are some I saw today at a quiet spot in NDG. Ten species were spotted in a lazy 45 minutes in lovely sunny weather, my first foray out of doors in quite some time. No woodpeckers, juncos, or nuthatches around, perhaps due to patrols by two noisy Merlins and a determined looking Cooper’s Hawk. No Snowbirds or spectral groundskeepers, either.

  If birds migrate in the spring and there are no birders there to see them…the birds don't care.
