Beautiful photo, and bird! You still have snow?!? It was 96 here today!

Thank you. March has been cold and snowy here. It will be 20 here tonight (-7 degrees Celsius) but it looks like spring is just around the corner....I hope.

This photo isn't as sharp as I would have liked, but I decided to post it.  I normally see Cape May Warblers maybe 5-6 times a year and feel fortunate to ever get a photo of one.  It was a bit unusual to see one this early in the year in this area (Chapel Hill, NC) and this was a long range shot which I cropped more than normal for me.  Even though it isn't a real sharp photo, I was happy to get it.

There are no sports on TV, we're under lockdown and it IS springtime!  Tree Swallows at San Jacinto Wildlife Area yesterday.

@dkommel, those are actually Violet-green Swallows. Nice series!

Not sure, is it? Cassin’s would be a bit of a rarity but not super unusual

i just assumed Western but I would be happy to be wrong.
