Hello, fellow bird folk: Today (Oct. 20, 2003) I observed: golden-crowned kinglets in Como Park (4-5, western shore of Lake Como, evergreens) ruby-crowned kinglets in Como Park (several, West Picnic Area) cedar waxwings -- large flocks in several areas, even in my own backyard (near Como Park) -- taking baths in the bird bath and leaving a mess like starlings do! several yellow-rumped warblers still around, near Como Lake many white-throated sparrows, everywhere.
Cheers, Val Cunningham northwest St. Paul, Minn., Ramsey County
