Sightings at WSUV

I took a walk on one of the trails at WSUV this afternoon and took quite a few pictures.  I was pleasantly surprised at the spring activity; I noticed a large number of birds out and about.



A young American Robin was the highlight of my walk.  The parent was twittering around and not exactly happy that I was taking a picture of the young one.



A Ruby-Crowned Kinglet (I'm pretty sure?) that would not hold still for more than two seconds.



And a Bewick's Wren, singing proudly on the snag.

Other sightings include a plethora of American Goldfinches, Black-capped chickadees, red-breasted nuthatches, our friend the flicker, a Red-Tailed Hawk, and a small group of bushtits.  I also took a picture of what I think is an apple tree in bloom.
