IKLland 1,412 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Not too much going on here lately. I haven’t really birded since Tuesday, but yesterday I had another rufous hummingbird 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron 870 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Found my first chipping sparrow of the year today. Apparently one of the first ones of the year for most of Canada (except for the southern parts like Ontario, Victoria etc.) Also the first day that NRW swallows showed up here. Hoping for more migrants tomorrow morning before I leave. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
