There was a substantial fallout of Ruby-crowned Kinglets around my place this morning (we saw about 30, and heard more). Didn't seem like there was much else - a few Yellow-rumps - but now we've got a Baltimore Oriole. -Geo -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

Yes same in my yard. They (WTSP) are dominating the dawn chorus. Difficult to get an accurate count but probably 12-20 easily. I noticed few Robins which are normally the main component of dawn chorus this time of year (some but not as many). ChrisP __ Chris Pelkie
