A quick visit late in the day. Overcast with wind and slight snow flurries. Goose Lake still frozen solid. A real early spring feeling with Varied Thrushes moving through as well as the Rosyfinches and Longspurs in the last few days. One gets desperate for anything different this time of year after seeing basically the same birds since last November.
