I should have sent this out sooner. Jim K and I went looking for the
Downy/Hairy Woodpecker at the cemetery yesterday evening. We were unsuccessful,
but highlights included a Red-naped Sapsucker, Mountain Bluebirds, two more
Gray-headed Juncos (we seem to be having a minor influx of them), a Pink-sided
and Oregon Junco, a dark morph Red-tail, a Ferruginous Hawk, and a calling then
singing Townsend’s Solitare.
