The first Junco of the season showed up this morning, in the company of 
Chipping Sparrows (5 or 6 together), Golden-crowned Kinglet, and Song 
Sparrow. They were all jostling for drinking/bathing space in the mini-pond 
along with the resident cardinals, titmice, etc. Nearby, a White-breasted 
Nuthatch has been spending its days emptying the feeder of sunflower seeds 
and stashing them in the bark of a nearby tree. My deck area was the 
birdiest I've seen it in a long time.
