I and the Bird #72

Man, I missed the deadline for I and the Bird. Fortunately, though, lots of people didn't, and there's a great edition up at Ecobirder.

Its April and here in Minnesota the long winter has finally come to an end. The days are getting longer and warmer and most of the snow has melted. April is an exciting time to be a birder because it is the beginning of the spring migration. With millions of birds crossing the planet on a journey to their summer breeding grounds you never know just what you will see. If you are lucky maybe you will get to see a rare migrant as it makes its way north or perhaps a large storm may blow in an exotic bird from another part of the world. Anything is possible.

This months I and the Birds is just like the spring migration. It is full of variety with unique posts, rare pics and fun surprises. So I hope that you will all have fun as we begin our virtual spring migration birding trip.
