[obol] First Junco in yard/ crow w/ white wing/hummers

[Kat & Bill]

This morning I saw the telltale flash of a Junco's
"skirt" as it flew out of the garden and into the
trees. Isn't it way too early for them to return to
the valley?

Also, a crow flew over yesterday and I noticed that
his right wing was white on the underside. I've seen
another crow in the neighborhood that had white on the
underside but it was on both wings.

The hummingbird wars are in full swing at our house.
Between the feeders, fuschias, scarlet runner beans
and bee balm, we have a full scale invasion!

We have Anna's (2 pair) and a Rufous pair that sneak
in when they can. 

Anyway, that's a brief snapshot of what is happening
in our yard this summer!
