The bicolored bird on the island is a juvenile double-crested cormorant.
The bushtits are due to start nest building any day now. I checked out one of their usual haunts, but did not hear or see any of the tiny birds. Maybe the cold weather is slowing their motivation.
Despite the gloomy weather, the cherry trees were beginning to bloom.
Andie and I found a goose kill site in a field.
The bones and feathers were chewed, which makes me think a coyote was the culprit. Nicer weather is expected for the rest of the week, so I will be back to look for nests!

That cormorant was in the same spot when we where there. I also noted the blooming cherries and took a few photos. Spring is around the corner!
Bushtit....easily my favorite bird name!
I have one of those blooming trees in my yard.
