Today I had my first BLUE-HEADED VIREO of the year (though I heard a 
possible one yesterday).  The little devil waited until I was on my way to 
work (i.e., without binocs), then started singing over my head.  My naked-
eye view was frustrating, but good enough to confirm it was a blue-headed 
and not, for example, a creative starling.  Technically he was in neither 
Ft. Bayard Park nor my yard, though he was within a few yards of both.

Earlier, in Ft. Bayard Park proper, I had a nice male YELLOW-BELLIED 
SAPSUCKER, as well as a CHIPPING SPARROW (they've been in the neighborhood 
for several days now).
