While violets are a sign of spring's return...

...so is the return of the Band-tailed Pigeon.

No sign yet of Rufous Hummingbirds or Swallows. 

Female Anna's - she might have a nest back in this thicket.

Tiny male Bushtit.

They look like a Disney creation.

Sheltering in a blackberry thicket.

Black-capped Chickadee.

Can you see all the buds on the tree?
