Bird Photos - Spring Migration - 2013

Weather has finally turned, was a decent sunny day, was warm enough to wear shorts and sandals without getting frost bitten.
Robins showed up in incredible numbers earlier in the week, driving around town for 10 minutes we saw at least 100 Robins. There were a few Grackles mixed with the Robins, we also saw a Merlin fly over.
The Robins were incredibly aggressive the last few days, chasing off any bird that was on our lawn. I'm thinking there is a shortage of food as it has been quite cold and I doubt there are many insects around for them to eat.
We had a White Throated Sparrow at our feeder today.
We drove out to the ponds today and got a few pictures, none of which turned out.
Got a few pictures out our window today and they turned out not to bad.
When I took the photos off the camera I found a number of photos from last October.
Chipping Sparrow was right outside our window at about 5 feet.
