["Mary Ann Good" <clintgood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello birders,
I hope many of you took the opportunity to enjoy this gem of a fall morning as 
I did.  I was enjoying the show, as all of our winter woodpeckers but 
Red-Headed and Hairy put in an appearance in my backyard, Yellow-Rumps, R-C 
Kinglets, and White-Throated Sparrows scarfed down poison ivy berries, and W-B 
Nuthatches, Juncos, and House and Goldfinches visited the feeders.  Suddenly, 
what to my wondering ears should appear, but a miniature wren--a song I've 
never heard before and my first real look at a Winter Wren--right in my own 
backyard!  To top off the glory of the morning, a hot-air balloon floated by in 
the early morning mist.

Ah, the joys each season brings!
