[obol] And on a lighter note ...

[Joel Geier]

Hello again folks,

This morning a family of OREGON JUNCOS came down off the ridge to the 
little water feature I recently set up. There were at least three 
juveniles, foraging independently at times but still taking handouts 
from mom and dad.

A SONG SPARROW family including one tailless and clueless juvenile (plus 
two juveniles that were simply clueless) was also present. One of the 
clueless juvenile Song Sparrows briefly faced off with a WILLOW 
FLYCATCHER in a low branch of some English hawthorn resprout that keeps 
coming back.

It was nice to see some birds that do not require agonizing 
consideration of details.

Good birding,
Joel
