Today was the first day of April Pierce County birding for me, and for FOY Pierce birds it was cherry picking easy. In about 2 1/2 hours on a cool rainy day I visited Levy Pond (FOY Barn Swallow, and Savannah Sparrow. Nothing new at Sha Dax, but at the 56th Street Stormwater Ponds I added FOY Cliff Swallow, Northern Rough-winged Swallow and Common Yellowthroats were singing seemingly all over. I walked a quick loop in the upper Swan Creek area but rain kept is short, and nothing new there. Then later on the way to work this afternoon at Bonney Lake two Turkey Vultures soared overhead. 6 FOY Pierce species in an easy day. TGIS (Spring).
