I'm sitting here watching a DE Junco picking up live ants on my patio and 
tucking them into its feathers - it took me a minute to figure out what it was 
doing.  Must have some mites or lice it wants rid of... 
 
Lots of Fox Sparrows and my FOY White-throat in the yard this morning - also 
thought I heard a Ruby-crowned Kinglet when I went out to get the paper this 
a.m. (that was what I suggested to Susan as her "sweet, sweet, sweet" song - 
amazing how loud that small a bird can be!)
