BIRDS OF THE SEASON
Following the unprecedented disastrous fires of early January, the remainder of winter was downright calm. We were spoiled the past two winters by above average precipitation, but the 2024-2025 season had a very dry start.
At last we received measurable precipitation, with a handful of fronts passing through in late February and March. These alleviated extremely dry conditions in the region, though we are still well below normal and unlikely to catch up. As we enter April, we’re nearing the end of any significant chance of rain.
