Returned from my trip to see another sign of Spring here in the Charlotte area: Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. (Pic taken through glass)

They pass through from wintering in Mexico to summering in Canada and NE U.S.

We make sure they have enough food and a resting spot to facilitate their voyage.

UC Davis: Can Citizen Science Be Trusted? New Study of Birds Shows It Can. “In a new study published in Citizen Science: Theory and Practice March 28, researchers from the University of California, Davis, show that citizen science data from iNaturalist and eBird can reliably capture known seasonal patterns of bird migration in Northern California and Nevada — from year-round residents such […]

The Northern Bald Ibis was extinct in Europe. Due to reintroduction efforts, a small population is learning a new migration journey from the Alps to Andalusia in Spain.

The end goal of the project is to create a self-sustaining population.

This is a big weekend for nocturnal bird migration. As many as 500 million birds could be flying under cover of darkness across America. Join Audubon’s Lights Out program by turning outdoor lights off at night to provide them safe passage between their nesting and wintering grounds. #SanDiego #BirdMigration

Three Hooded Merganser males tried to impress the one female around.
Quite a few new arrivals on the river: Mergansers (Hooded and Common), Buffleheads, Goldeneyes, Ring-neck Ducks, and Canada Geese.

I'm greatly looking forward to my first-ever visit, coming up real soon. Hope the cranes are still there.

I heard a flock of Goose flying over in the dark at about 11 o'clock at night. It was dark, with a rather clear moon hiding behind clouds. I think it was white fronted geese.

Geese don't fly at night do they?

I can't find anything else than that they fly in the mornings and in the evenings.
Maybe it was a disturbed flock?
