Not quite as chilly today, but it was cool, nonetheless.  However, The Northern Reaches were filled with song and merriment.  It was plays time for all the Yellow-rumped Warblers, half a dozen Slate-colored Juncos, a Red Fox Sparrow, the Northern Mockingbird, a couple of Blue Jays, several American Robins, a Northern Flicker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, a Brown Thrasher, Downy Woodpecker, and whatever else I might have missed.  I was thrilled to find a living Red Fox Sparrow, as the last one had died in flight a couple of months ago.  As you can see, it is a beautiful bird, worth having as a picture.

Let's see what tomorrow brings!
