Walked around D.C. today and saw quite a few birds, but only one new one for the year...

April 9

Constitution Gardens and Reflecting Pool, Washington, D.C., USA
115. Red-winged Blackbird

Latest Lifer: 580 : Cetti's Warbler (Simar Nature Reserve, St. Paul's Bay, Malta; April 2017)
 
Sunday, April 09 - Waterloo Park, Waterloo, Ontario.

Wow! Actual T-shirt weather, at last! Was able to go running in short sleeves for the first time this year. :t:

And with the improving temperatures, quite a few new birds moving in; not just new species, but also ever-increasing numbers of the migrants already here, like Red-winged Blackbird, Grackle, and Junco. "Happy days are here again..."

23) American Goldfinch
24) Yellow-shafted (Northern) Flicker
25) Golden-crowned Kinglet
26) Merlin

Two new birds this morning, so I'm now up to 132 for the year.

131. Solitary Sandpiper
132. Black-throated Green Warbler

Frustratingly, I heard but did not see an Upland Sandpiper, a very rare bird in this area. It would have been a state and county lifer, but I don't count heard-only birds.
