Chasing Spring Migrants

Osprey coming in hot

Having today off from work and for a change, not raining I did some birding. My plan was to bird hard but not to rush from place to place. I saw 50 species for the day. I got two new species for the year yesterday while fishing and 12 new species today Here is a list of some of today's new birds and some other good birds for the day if anyone wants to go find birds
