Saturday through today there was a RBSs working the Doug Fir in my front
yard. At one point there were 5 in view with the two on my tree getting
into a knock-down, drag out fight that led to them both on the ground
entangled for 5 seconds or so. The victor hopped back up to the tree
seemingly unfazed.

It was a great weekend of birding from my yard, 28 species total. Other
highlights include Brown Creeper, Merlin, Coopers Hawk, Townsend's Warbler,
Winter Wren, and the Snow Geese.

Happy Birding,
