You 'gotta love April... skiing in our field 3 days ago, and grilling under the watchful eye of a Brown Thrasher tonight. ~50 lingering "snowbirds" (Dark-eyed Juncos) despite the demise of our snowcover. And a correction: the majority opinion on last week's visiting Accipiter is female immature Cooper's Hawk... not a Northern Goshawk as I reported. I was too quick to base my ID on the large size and prominent supercillium rather than more subtle elements.
