We've got a few spring migrants that have shown up recently. Pictured here are Western Kingbird, Nashville Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, and Band-tailed Pigeon. It seems like Nashville Warbler in particular have showed up in larger numbers in the PNW than in recent years.

Western KingbirdI was happy to see a Kingbird fly overhead near a location where I saw them nesting last year. When I returned a week later however, they were nowhere to be found. Perhaps this one moved on, or was hunting elsewhere while I was there.

California QuailThis guy struck a nice pose, perfectly at eye level, but the background was a big gray piece of farm equipment. Oh well.
