Sitting on back deck as I write this & in past 15 min: 2 new spring arrivals: 1 ea: adult male Black-headed Grosbeak & a Yellow Warbler. Also, overhead, 7 Bald Eagles (6 adult, 1 imm, 4 in one group), 1 adult Golden Eagle, 1 Red-tailed Hawk & 75 White Pelicans in various groupings. 5 Wild Turkey in backyard, including a displaying tom. Reason I always have my binocs handy, even when reading a book on the deck.

isn’t that always the case!  I’m still learning the Canon 9D and in the process of trying to change the settings I missed a close up of an osprey at the park near the snake river in Marsing.  Osprey flew over me !  Would have been a great close up.
