These are all common birds, but I love walking into an area that is busy with birds doing their thing, particularly when they wait for me to get my camera ready!

Part of the pond was thawed, so there were mute swans and mallards swimming near the shore, closer than I have seen in a long time. Before now, they have been on the far side of the pond all winter, well out of reach because there are train tracks and no walking trail on that shore.

Some preferred the ice
On the way out to the car, the Dark-Eyed Juncos were back in the grass and had been joined by several Song Sparrows.
