A Sooty Fox Sparrow gave its "chack" call as it came into the feeder area in the pre-dawn.

A couple minutes later, the dawn's early foggy 23 ? light revealed the usual suspects of Oregon Juncos, song sparrows (one with a couple of leucistic primary feathers), Steller's Jay, Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Golden-crowned Sparrows, Spotted Towhees, and an Anna's Hummer sipping his morning sugar water.

Happy New Year, all,
