With the unsettled weather yesterday came some nice avian visitors to our
slice of a yard. About 11:00am a wave of birds appeared but given the wind
whipping the leaves about it was impossible to get an accurate count for
each species.

Highlights:

Great Blue Heron flyover
Great Horned Owl (duetting pair early in the morning)
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (2 juveniles working away on pear tree)
Eastern Phoebe
Blue-headed Vireo
Winter Wren
Golden and Ruby-crowned Kinglets
Gray-cheeked Thrush
Gray Catbird
Tennessee Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Eastern Towhee

Ben had a falcon-ish flyover (possible Merlin) late in the day but was on
the phone and couldn't get to the binos fast enough for ID confirmation.
