Early this crisp, sunny morning the Maintenance Yard was alive with  
Robins and Ruby-crowned Kinglets.  There were six warbler species:  
Orange-crowned, Black-throated Green, Black-throated Blue, Magnolia,  
Northern Parula, and Myrtle.  The antics of a Sharp-shinned Hawk  
captured much attention as it persistently harassed a Pileated  
Woodpecker.  We also had good views of a Blue-headed Vireo.   
Unfortunately the Bullock's Oriole did not reappear at least not as  
late as 10:30AM.
