In the early evening yesterday 9/27 there was a flock of about 40 Spizella sparrows at the Littleton Cemetery. They were hard to view as they flew up into the trees, but of the 13 I managed to study, all 13 were *Clay-colored Sparrows!* A flock was in the same area this morning 9/28 and today the flock had about 60 sparrows. This time I was able to view more of the birds, and I counted/estimated 19 *Chipping Sparrows *(75% HY), 14 *Clay-colored Sparrows*, 1 *Brewer's Sparrow* and 25 or so Spizella sp. On 9/27 there was a *Golden-crowned Kinglet* at the cemetery, and on 9/28 there was a *Mountain Chickadee*, a *Hairy Woodpecker* (Rocky Mtn form), and three fly-over *Pine Siskins* - all good birds for the immediate area along So. Prince St.
Ay Ken Caryl Valley on 9/27 I had 4 *Evening Grosbeaks* fly over near my home. Today my yard still has multiple *Broad-tailed Hummers*, as well as 1-2 *Rufous* and 1 female *Black-chinned Hummer*. The latter is uncommon for my yard, and this individual is very confiding.
