<div> </div>
<div>I thought I had March finished earlier but guess I included some with the winter report. Following are a lone February report, the rest of March and all of April. I didn't use e-bird since I had a nice bunch of local sightings plus some time restraints with my computer. I do like to add a few from British Columbia to see where they are wandering - tends to be interesting, at times. Thanks for the reports and hope everyone has a good summer with lots of interesting birds.</div>
