O..I am so glad they have found you!..It was warm..now it's a chilly 40 degrees..

I had an exciting bird day yesterday..A small flock of Robins came to drink (about 20)..and there were two cedar waxwings that were with them..I believe the usual flock of waxwings have been here as every youpon berry and photinia berry was gone when I got home from my daughter's the last of January.

Robins will eat nandina..but the red berries are still on the bushes at the front and in the ravine so they must not have been hungry..I hated to have to attend to the business of the day yesterday lest I miss something!

I haven't had any goldfinches..but I do have house finches. My mystery bird is surely an orange crowned warbler. I have really studied him and that's the only olive colored small bird I can find.
6 squirrels have vacuumed up all the seeds I put on the patio this morning..O well!

:) Thats great! I have seen Robins here flock when they were looking for food. What a sight! Your yard sounds busy and exciting. I think I told you, my mission is to see Cedar Waxwings. :) I will have to plant berrying bushes. Cedar Waxwings should be coming through in March. There's a wildlife sanctuary where I'll go search to see them. Only 2 squirrels here, so far ;).

Glad you figured your mystery bird out. Warblers can be so difficult to ID.
