It's time to watch your backyard feeders for migrating birds. We have had a big change in activity in our yard the past week. Goldfinches are abundant, white-crowned sparrow numbers are way up and we've had seven Cassin's finches and two evening grosbeaks for several days. A Lincoln's sparrow came in to feed yesterday. Take a good look at your sparrows and you may find a white-throated sparrow or a golden-crowned sparrow in with the white-crowns and house sparrows. And it's time to get your hummingbird feeders up - they will arrive any day! MerryLynn and I saw American avocets and black-necked stilts at three locations yesterday - the Wallula Junction Overlook, the Walla Walla River Delta and Northshore Millet ponds. The Delta also has a large number of Caspian terns. There were cinnamon teals at the millet ponds and at the little pond past the barn owl cuts on Dodd Road. Here come the birds........it will only get better from now on. Ginger
