I’ve seen flyovers by Trumpeters, Tundra Swans, White Pelicans, DC Cormorants & Sandhill Cranes this spring but my FOY spring arrival, to-the-yard bird, was just minutes ago. By a bright, male Red-naped Sapsucker, pounding away & traveling from cottonwood to aspen to willow. Its red throat & nape were striking, esp against the stark white bark of the aspen.
