I have already noticed the chorus out my window every morning; even if its mostly European starlings and house sparrows, there is the odd robin, mockingbird, and chickadee in there singing with mourning doves hitting their baritone notes - it all makes for a lovely dawn chorus none-the-less! It beats the silence and cold of winter, for sure.
On Sunday, after finding the Brooklyn Golf center is closed (want to lease a driving range?) my husband and I walked in Marine Park to enjoy the warmth that we have been waiting forever for. On Monday after work I walked Calvert-Vaux (Drier Offerman) Park so here are some of the highlights-- err, acceptable pictures...

| Osprey at Marine Park. |
 |
| So many song sparrows everywhere (this one, Marine Park) singing loudly as other nearby birds respond with more song. |
 |
| Probably one of my favorite types of sparrows, seen at Vaux- a field sparrow, they just have the cutest look to them! |
 |
| This guy was busy foraging with chipping sparrows on the baseball fields. |

| A chipping sparrow stuffs its face... you can see this bird is pretty different from the field sparrow above. |
 |
| These guys are a welcome sign of spring! |
 |
| A European Starling looks vivid as it grabs a drink from a muddy puddle. |
 |
| Found lots of Red-throated loons in Coney Island Creek. |
 |
| One of a pair of killdeer, making quite a bit of noise, they were audible from quite far away. |
