The weather was unsettled with intermittant slushy rain.
A WHITE-THROATED SPARROW is coming to one of the sparrow
chumming spots at the Astoria Mitigation Bank. Two ORANGE-
CROWNED WARBLERS were at the front end of King Av, neither
of which looked to be the bright yellow one I've seen there
previously. Five AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES were working the
thistles out near the transaxle.

Astoria, OR that all through history
celata at pacifier.com the way of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers,
and for a time they can seem invincible,
but in the end they always fall.
Think of it...always.
