Drove to Whole Foods today instead of walking (too many groceries). On the way 
I swung by Lake Park. No new FOY species, but some nice birding nonetheless.

A few highlights:

* Checked North Point for shorebirds. Nothing yet. The beach is actually pretty 
sterile looking. Needs some stinkin algae to attract insects. :-)

* My first vocalizing Eastern Phoebe of the year, by one of the ravines. I've 
seen a fair number of them this year, but this is the first I've heard. Love 
that sound! 

* Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in a ravine, including one vocal bird.

* Singing Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

* Singing Winter Wren.

* Singing Dark-eyed Junco.

* Several Northern Flickers.

* First Red-breasted Nuthatch I've seen in a while.
