I observed a fair amount of avian activity in my backyard yesterday morning; among the species I spotted were the Blue-Headed Vireo, Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, Yellow-Rumped Warbler, Eastern Phoebe, Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher, an Empidonax Flycatcher, several White-Throated Sparrows, and, much to my shock and dismay, at least two or three Dark-Eyed Juncos. I thought it a bit soon to be seeing these cold-weather birdlets; it seems to me that in years prior, they've generally shown up at later dates.
