Despite this being the spring that I've had the least amount of time to look at birds, a few good ones have still shown up. The Long-eared Owl at the end of March was a very pleasant surprise (species #164 for our property list), and it was followed soon after by a Great Egret (#165). Today I walked over near a small area of cattails around the edge of our pond and happened to hear and then see a wren; it turns out it was a Marsh Wren (#166). The eBird checklist (http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S36425082) includes a picture (but it's a bad picture).
