Recognizable spring weather may not have arrived in your part of the Northern Hemisphere just yet, but spring has sprung nonetheless. Countless flocks of frigid, sodden birds must be wondering whether they took a wrong turn somewhere. Migrants are on the move, if you can bear to be out looking for them! In between ice storms, I visited Brighton’s Brickyard Trail, a nice little walk that can be excellent for sparrows.

While on our beach vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina in early April I took full advantage of our location just off the beach. In the afternoon the sun was at my back and the birds on the beach and over the water were perfectly illuminated for some nice digiscoping opportunities. Terns, gulls, pelicans, gannets, and ducks all made their way past and all were digiscoped to within an inch of their lives.

I have written before of the intersection between the human need for entertainment and the bird need to live bird lives and make more birds: it partakes of both the compelling and the ridiculous at the best of times. And now is the best of times. The extended winter of our cold, damp discontent is made glorious summer by the antics of a couple of Red-tailed Hawks.

OK. You probably know that I live where we have many, many woodpeckers. One of the most abundant woodpeckers in Oak Run , where I live, is the Acorn Woodpecker ( Melanerpes formicivorus ). The photos above and below are an adult male Acorn Woodpecker hanging on a hummingbird feeder at the University of California Hopland Research and Extension Center where I attended a meeting back in February.

It’s hard to believe that here in the northeastern United States, we’re only two or three weeks away from the peak of spring migration. We had snow and freezing rain yet again around Albany yesterday, and visits to my local birding patches in the last few days have turned up the same mix of migrants I was seeing at the end of last week. It seems like everything is in a holding pattern for now.

So many parts of the United States are afflicted with unseasonable cold that spring feels more like a theory than an actual season. Case in point, someone wished me a “Happy 109th Day of January” today… in the middle of a small snow squall! But don’t let the weird weather fool you; birds are on the move. Some very interesting rarities have been abiding at Montezuma NWR, so look for me if you’re there this weekend.

There are some excellent National Parks in the hills to the east of Perth city and they are all worth a visit at any time of year. Whether you enjoy hiking, birding or cycling there is something for everyone. One advantage of camping in a tent is that you can also camp at the Beelu National Park and they have an online booking site , so you can see if sites are available prior to arriving.

April is one of those major months of change, and as with things that are in flux, it tends to be fickle. In the temperate zone, it teases with warm winds that switch to an icy punch in a matter of days. We see some buds on the trees, hear the sweet little songs of Yellow-rumped Warblers and don’t want to have to wait for more of their colorful brethren.
