tclarkwood Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Well I guess it is time to start talking about the birds that are about to leave and the new arrivals we will see from other areas to raise their babies in our back yards. My American Goldfinches are half way transitioned into the bright yellow plumage. Look forward to all the Carribean, Central and South American birds showing up over the next couple of months! Juncos and purple finches and siskins will be leaving in the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use any other part of this website other than backyard birds so that is why I have started the spring and fall migration topics here over the last few years.

Colton V Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'm a little late to the party, but I saw two Turkey Vultures yesterday. My first of the year, not counting the out-of-place one I saw in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hermit, townsends, yellow, black throated gray, yellowthroat, brown range crowned, and Wilson’s. Many only on the SoCal coast, though, not inland SoCal.

Jodi Nielson Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I heard Sandhill Cranes flyover Bowling Green, KY about a week or so ago. But haven't seen any birds but the usual suspects so far. I wondered if the "deep freeze" the South endured might have affected the migrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
