  Happy New Year Everyone! Its quite a nice New Years Day for a walk around 
the yard-52 degrees at 9AM. The Eastern Phoebe that is a year around resident 
was gleaning insects in the side yard this morning. I also flushed up 7 Bob 
White Quail. There were 2 Hermit Thrushes along the streams in the wetlands in 
the back yard, along with a Belted Kingfisher, Great Blue Heron, Red-shouldered 
Hawk, Yellow-belleid Woodpecker, Song and White-throated sparrows and a Fox 
Sparrow, a single Brown Creeper, and Pileated Woodpeckers. The lake in the 
front 
yard has 3 Hooded Mergansers and a male Bufflehead on it. Eastern Bluebirds 
were calling from the front porch roof. The feeders in the back yard have the 
usual Purple Finches, Goldfinches, Juncos, White-breasted Nuthatches, Mourning 
Doves, Cedar Waxwings, Red bellied, Downy, and Hairy Woodpeckers, Northern 
Flickers, and a Coopers Hawk that has been unusually open and evident this 
winter. Happy New Years and Happy Birding, everyone!!  Dave White  Zion
