Oh...and as I was actually getting IN my vehicle to go to work (15 min late) this morning...I looked up to admire the waves of both the finches and the grosbeaks...and saw my first PINY0N JAY! I wonder how many there were...mixed in with the Red-winged Blackbirds, I bet! I can hardly wait for Saturday...when I can do some real watching! Seems 4-500 ROSY FINCHES were here...
