Got out of the office and onto the boardwalk today.   Everyone is in
what I call "anticipation mode" here.  The birds aren't dripping from
the trees yet, but it sure was nice to see and to feel the warmth of the
sun today and a few birds!      Portable restrooms are due any day now.
There are bathrooms located inside the Bird Center. 
Birds of note  seen on the boardwalk today:

Fox sparrows
Tree sparrows
Lincoln sparrow
White-throated sparrow
Dark eyed junco
Eastern Towhee
Winter Wren
WB nuthatch
Brown creeper
Hermit thrush
Rusty blackbird
RC kinglet
GC kinglet
Downy woodpecker
Flicker
E. Phoebe
Tree swallow
Ring necked duck
Wood duck
Scaup sp. 
Great egret

We also heard something that sure sounded like an oriole, but were
unable to locate the bird. 
Happy Birding!
