I stopped by Spring Valley today and then Eastwood Metropark later in the
day (March 13th).  I moved here from central NY this past fall.  I have been
amazed at the diversity of birds coming through the area this time of year.
Spring starts so much later in Upstate NY!  Here's a list of what I saw.
