Today there were 16 Sharp-tailed Grouse dancing on 2 different leks near Tamarack, Sandhill Cranes in the field and a Red-shouldered Hawk in the woods near my house. Hermit Thrush and White-thoated Sparrows in the bog, and Yellow-rumped Warblers, Chipping Sparrows and Brown Creepers in my yard. New birds to see every day - spring is fun indeed.
