Today we had a wonderful day birding. A lot of birds are arriving very early, because of the recent warm weather. I have photos first from our yard (just a few), and then from Niagara County. We spent some time at Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter's house in Wilson, then went birding with them at Greenwood Cemetery and Wilson-Tuscarora State Park in Wilson. A great day!

The purple finches are incredible! Nice capture. And the yellow warb looks obscenely bright.
