Birded the UW Arboretum from 7:15 to 11:15 am.  It was cloudy and cold with a 
northeast wind.
Highlights:

An Osprey (FOY) flew directly over me at Big Spring carrying some round, furry 
animal and being chased by 5 crows.

I saw 7 Yellow-rumped Warblers but they were all singles scattered around the 
arb.

I enjoyed listening to the songs of 2 Brown Thrashers and 3 Fox Sparrows.

I'm really looking forward to the possibility of snow tomorrow.  No, I think 
that would be a "lowlight".

My eBird report is appended below.

Good birding to all,
