We sat out on the upper deck for about an hour this morning and saw our first of season blue-gray gnatcatchers. There was a lot of movement, 100+ yellow-rumped warblers, 12 ruby-crowned kinglets, 6 golden-crowned kinglets, 2 brown creepers, and 40+ cedar waxwings. We have had kinglets and yellow-rumps around all winter, but the numbers this morning are way up! There is another flock of yellow-rumps moving through, so it is back out into the cold!
