It is starting to look a little more like Spring may be heading our way. This morning I was able to see a few more birds here in Missouri which I really should have had before now this year. But, it has been a long, drawn out Winter.

These four were seen in the Lake Contrary area of Saint Joseph, Missouri.
103. Great Blue Heron
104. American White Pelican
105. Ruby-crowned Kinglet
106. Red-breasted Merganser

A slow morning with not much moving. However, I did pick up one new bird for the year, bringing my Year List up to 332.

332. Eared Grebe

I also added Blue-winged Teal and Tree Swallow to my Indiana Year List, which is now at 107. (I had seen both species earlier in Honduras).
