I did some birding at Greenfield Park, Whitnall Park, Grant Park and Lake Park in Milwaukee County midday today. Some of the birds seen were Golden-crowned Kinglets, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Yellow-rumped Warblers and Winter Wrens. The groups of birds came and went, it was a fun couple of hours while it lasted. It was nice to see some full sun for a change! Spring actually seems to be nearing and we still have 15-20 Dark-eyed Juncos in the yard this evening! Images were taken on April 14, 2016

Wonderful photos Jim. I’ve never seen a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. And haven’t seen the Yellow-rumped Warbler in Ozaukee County yet this year, send them this way.
So beautiful. Thanks, Jim!
I hope they are heading north toward Stevens Point. These little guys are early spring treasures.
Very beautiful captures Jim. We used to get a few Ruby-Crowned Kinglets in our near west side Madison yard, but have not seen any in several years—we miss them!
