I have been birding around the Coves, Hyde Park and Westminster Ponds lately. I'm seeing a nice variety of birds as birds are returning. I have seen Turkey Vultures and Eastern Phoebes recently. We had one day last week that was warm and sunny but other days have been cooler with rain and even freezing rain/sleet. Here are some of the birds I saw.

This Red-tailed Hawk came flying in and landed on a light standard looking around. Then it took off right over me to the ground in a field. I was taking photos of it when it took off. It is rare for me to get flight photos.
