Bushtit
We recently have seen a couple of these small guys buzzing about in the shrubs where we like to take an afternoon walk. Not a bird we have the pleasure of seeing very often so their presence this spring has been a treat.

Wilsons Snipe
We spotted this guy patrolling along an irrigated ditch on a quiet country road in last weekend looking for a meal. Such a wonderful and beautiful bird and I sure hope to spot a few more this spring just for the fun of it.
