On this spring-like morning I found at least 5 Fox Sparrows on our hill, one of them repeating a brightly whistled song, all posing to give me great views. Also more Cedar Waxwings than I could count (hundreds), and nearly as many robins, all eating the fruits on our "mystery trees" (some kind of hawthorn that keeps branches full of small yellow-orange fruits into the winter when they are all eaten-- anyone know the name?). Also singing were flocks of Redwing Blackbirds, stopping to rest and o-ker-ee!, as well as many White-throated Sparrows piping up.
