This is my first photo of this species for years, so please forgive the distance involved! There were at least 4 individuals present and I was happy with just hearing them booming, until this happened

I managed to have free time at the exact break in the weather yestday. Mostly obtained duplicates, but saw my first blackcap of the season (photo not great though, so holding out for better)

Congratulations on reaching 300th Bird of the Year, Tracy! And it was still in April, so by summer you might double the count.

Congrats on the triple century! The snow makes for an attractive background with the woodpecker!

From woodpeckers in the snow to hummingbirds in the snow - very unexpected!

We also had a brief glimpse of a sharp-shinned hawk and a violet-green swallow, but no photos. 19 lifers in one day - pretty good.

congrats on the 300th and an enjoyable set of birds. Those shots of the pygmy nuthatch amid the snow were so pretty.
