A group of 17 chipping sparrows, 2 dark-eyed juncos and a dusky flycatcher blew through the neighborhood this morning. I had to chase them down to get ID. The east wind we are getting is still pushing birds into this area.

Also had a rufous hummingbird at walmart checking out the pictures of the flowering plants on the labels! It's a hard life right now with little in bloom.
