Participants reported more than 160 first birds this morning, a new record for the Friday Firstbird, for sure. In all, you reported more than 50 species of birds. Leading the way were American Robin, Anna's Hummingbird, California Towhee, Crow, and Mourning Dove. But there were lots of great birds throughout. We received reports through our blog, Facebook, and Twitter -- meaning that we're catching a nice range of platforms. Our favorite report came from Quebec: "Premier oiseau de la journée est une tourterelle,suivie par la mésange,le moineau et roselin se sont croisés aux mangeoires et par la suite pigeons et etourneaux sansonnets sonr venus grignoter les graines restantes et le suif. Tout cela dans ma cour arrière à Québec." Check out the entire list below. (California Towhee, photo by USFWS):
