I did find WHITE-THROATED and CHIPPING SP., but nothing more exotic than that. HOWEVER, I did find and observe 5 HERMIT THRUSH at very close range. Seemingly oblivious to my presence, they went about their business of feeding on pokeberries, scratching in the leaf litter and giving a wonderful show in general. New yard bird for me!! KINGLETS and YELLOW-RUMPS everywhere as well. A good start to my day.
