Fantastic!  The different birds are gathering again.  Yesterday was damp, humid 
with low rather dark clouds, and fog on the mountains all day.
Looking out the windows all day to check the birds I would see several titmice, 
 about 4 chickadees, goldfinches, several molting song sparrows, humming 
birds.......... the regular ones.

Then I glanced a black bird with a white breast... a really black head.... but 
I only saw the head...a warbler head?   Looking some more I realized there were 
birds moving through the crepe myrtle by the front door, into the dogwood and 
into the tall snowball bush on the opposite side of the driveway.  Lots of them!

 It was fantastic.... There were several that I did not get a good view of .. 
there was more than one of all the ones I identified:

Black-throated blue (male and female)
Chestnut-sided  (fall dressing)
Ruby-crown kinglet
Vireo...white-eyed
Titmouse
Chick-a-dee
Goldfinch
Song sparrow
Humming bird
White-breasted nuthatch
Mourning doves 

There has been around all week a sparrow I can't identify.  Rather small, 
smaller than song sp.;a white breast with rather thin black lines; pink legs 
and a rather pink normal sized bill; no eyering; and a brown sparrow back??????
