A great walk thru the yard on this beautiful, mild and calm morning.  The 
highlight was a Lincoln's Sparrow.  A scolding Carolina Wren caused the 
Lincoln's to raise the feathers on his head.  Great looks!
The best view of the day was a Golden Crowned Kinglet that hopped about me 
at eye level looking for snacks.  He got to within a foot as he foraged thru the 
brush.  Wow!

Many, many robins feasting on poke berries were joined by a mob of Cedar 
Waxwings.  I really enjoyed the dawn chorus with the Chickadees, White 
throats, Jays, Titmice, Kinglets, Canada Geese, Red-bellies, Flickers, Downies, 
Cedar Waxwings, Robins, Goldfinches, and, yes, House Sparrows.
A fantastic morning!
