Birds of the Season March 2026
February and early March offered typically pleasant weather, with many continuing rare birds and a handful of new ones, as well as the arrival of a few Neotropical migrants. By late March these migrants were becoming more obvious and widespread, with some already on territory. Breeding activity for resident birds was underway well before that.
