[obol] Their coming!

While looking carefully at the birds visiting my feeders I noticed a 
'stranger'.

A large sparrow but not a young White-crown sparrow, I think from it's 
markings it's this years young GOLD-CROWN SPARROW.
The usual suspects are here of course, WHITE CROWN SPARROWS, AMERICAN 
GOLDFINCH, HOUSE FINCHES, CHESTNUT BACKED and  BLACK CAPPED CHICKADEES, 
ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD, a few ALLAN'S HUMMINGBIRD, BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, 
PACIFIC SLOPE FLYCATCHERS,  a few surviving HOUSE SPARROWS, CEDAR WAXWINGS, 
ROBINS, a  RED-TAILED HAWK,  a bunch of young WHITE-TAILED KITES, CROWS, 
RAVENS, BARN SWALLOWS, TREE SWALLOWS and CALIFORNIA QUAIL.

The weather is lovely today, no heat waves here!
