Here are the birds observed at the Hermits’ Rest in March 2025. They were either identified by Merlin Bird ID or by sight. I was traveling a lot this month, finding lots of new birds elsewhere, such as my first Whooping Cranes! Interesting fact is that there were no new birds sighted here this month, which is a first since I’ve been counting.
