March Birds

These pictures are from several trips last month. March was a weird kind of month from birding perspective - the winter birds were leaving, but the majority of the spring birds haven't moved in just quite yet. But there were a few that I was able to catch:

American Robin - always a sign of spring:


Northern Mockingbird - stays here all year:


A Mallard in his iridescent green spring coating:


An angry-looking Northern Cardinal:


A Song Sparrow breaking into its spring song:


A close encounter with a Red-Tailed Hawk:




A seagull working for its dinner:


The result of the entire winter worth of mussel dinners for seagulls:
