-Not one but two (!) Carolina Wrens were spotted near the spot where I located one a few weeks back. At one point one of them was poking around inside an old (squirrel?) nest up in a tree. I will keep an eye on this.

-More snow, huzzah!
-Two lethargic American Robins chuckling and sub-singing in grapey vine snarl, drunk perhaps.
-Didn’t spot the Carolina Wrens, but I did flush two LBJs down low that couldn’t be re-found as they went through a fence and down a hill. They were either sparrows of some kind…or…the wrens?
-Seven species in 90 minutes.
