The top of the hill at Ft. Bayard was very birdy this morning, if not 
especially diverse--nearly everything was a GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET.  They 
were seemingly everywhere, and my conservative count of 15 may be too low. 
I did hear at least one RUBY-CROWNED as well.

Again had a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER--perhaps one of the same ones I saw a 
few days ago.  I haven't yet determined whether they overwinter in the 
neighborhood, but they at least appear to do some extended staging during 
migration.   Other migrants were a PHOEBE and a passing group of around 8 
JUNCOS.
