Just off of 5th Street W in town of Sonoma I have counted some 100+ American Robins all over the mobile home park where I live. May they find lots of goodies!
I'm sure some of you are seeing lots of them too.

Hello NBB's.
Today driving North on Hwy 101 over the Cotati Grade at 12:42pm I noticed a kettle of birds on the West side of the Hwy just North of the Brake Check Area.
Looking more intently at the kettle I noticed 2 adult BALD EAGLES circling around over the Gallo Vineyards. There was several TURKEY VULTURES and COMMON RAVENS as well.
The BAEA's were unmistakable with their white tails & heads shining brightly.

Today, distant scope views from Marsh Drive yielded:
1 male *BARROW'S GOLDENEYE* foraging with several Common Goldeneye.
45 *GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE* mingling with several Canada Goose.
This location is at the southeast corner of where Highway 37 and Highway 101. To find parking and a perch for your viewing (scope recommended; birds are often at least ~2,000' away from the road), take the Marsh Drive exit after taking the Highway 37 exit while going north on Highway 101.
Immediately after exiting the Marsh Drive turnoff, you'll see the wetland flooded area on your left at the bottom of the exit ramp. Here's where parking is apt for viewing.

Just saw our first Selasphorus (Allen’s) hummer here on Taylor Ln. Male on feeder and hanging around. Good close looks, softer, higher-pitched wing trill. Normal time of year here for first sighting.
