Birds of 2013: Week 13

The last couple days we’ve had beautiful spring weather. I’ve taken advantage of it & gone on a few walks around my house keeping a lookout for birds. I even saw 2 mallards fly over, which is rare. The birds apparently are happy with the spring weather, too. I hear a lot of bird songs & many of the summer birds are returning. I have 3 new birds to add to my list: rufous hummingbird, violet-green sparrow & turkey vulture.
