My little Swamp Sparrow friend is still here Apr 10, appearing in my yard after 6 pm tonight under light blizzard conditions. I had not seen it since March 27, the longest break in its regular visits since it was first noted Jan 22.
-- A Wilson's Snipe winnowed a few times over Massey Draw near my home on April 5. There is a small cattail marsh there that a territorial snipe (the same?) had favored from April to July in 2016. Yesterday April 9 it was still there, giving chipping calls from the cattails or their margin. The marsh was fairly dry the past two years, but there is some moisture now and this storm's snow and rain will help make the marsh even more snipey, I hope. No Broad-tailed Hummer at home yet, but one was nearby at South Valley Park yesterday.
