Easter, in the form of a Snowshoe Hare partway through the changeover from Winter to Summer Coat, then a Robin (FOY) showed up in our backyard this morning.  Both photos shot through a dirty window on a very murky day so not the best quality in the world...

We had an odd juxtaposition here as well. Yesterday was our first-of-year robin, and today we had our first-of-winter redpolls at the feeder, a flock of about 20 or so. Others have recently reported late arriving redpoll flocks at their feeder; this is certainly the latest date we've ever had them visit our feeders for the first time during a winter.
