First signs of spring

I saw several hundred tundra swans Sunday and Monday evening feeding in a field with thousands of Canada geese. I was going to go check them out with the scope, see if i could find a trumpeter swan in there today...BUT its miserable freezing fog today and cant really see more than 100 yards!! Bah.

Well my fog cleared off by the afternoon, and I got to birdwatch for a while. Counted 197 tundra swans, and probably 500 Canada geese. Most coolest bird seen was a pair of western meadowlarks, yay spring!!
 
When we see Killdeer and Red-winged blackbirds we know spring is really here. The Silly Robins are not the best at predicting spring! We do occasionally see Meadow Larks but they seem to show up a bit later than the others. I saw the swans again this morning. :woot
 
Wow

Wow, that must be really cool to see the swans.
 
I saw a Mockingbird yesterday. And crocuses are up! Daffodil sprouts are starting to emerge.

Snow on the way this afternoon though. The wind is crazy today!
 
Look who showed up in my yard today!
