The family plus family friend Savannah drove to DC over spring break. 18 hours of driving each way plus four days in a nice BnB. The weather turned cold of course, as it always does during spring break, it even snowed on the second day but started warming as we left. Fun but exhausting. The pictures are in no particular order.

First ever Brambling in Arkansas
A Brambling, a Eurasian species that occasionally visits the northern part of Alaska, was reported at a residence in Ferndale . On Sunday, 1/24, probably 30 birders were welcomed into the home and allowed to wait. When he did arrive, I was only able to shoot through a window at a marked angle so my pictures stink but they should serve as proof. It was my first new life bird since 2013. Let’s hope it is the first of several such.
