Birds were singing away. A flock of about 12 pine siskins, several hermit thrushes, lots of robins, chickadees, goldfinches, tree swallows, and red-winged blackbirds. There was one golden-crowned kinglet (the one that has been around for several weeks?), several brown-headed cowbirds, cardinals, many song sparrows, white-throated sparrows, and juncos. A northern flicker and a downy woodpecker were also seen. Yesterday, I had a great-crested flycatcher, my first of the season.
