If you feed hummingbirds, now is about the time to put out feeders!  The Rufous hummingbirds will be showing up soon.  A good indicator of their arrival is the blooming of the Red currants.

With the good weather we had today I decided to do a little birding in the Samish Flats this afternoon.  My first tour was around March Point where I found this male Eurasian wigeon mixed in with a large, but strung-out (not on drugs!) group of American wigeons.  I returned a couple of hours later and he was still in the same area.  This is my personal best sighting of the Eurasian wigeon and my first photographs.
