A frugivore weekend



	This weekend Janet and I took our usual 1 mi walk around the neighborhood.

The wild grapes apparently were just right!  We saw 2 flocks of 50 each of 
robins.  The season's first hermit thrushes were busy (3 were seen).  We 
saw a small flock of cedar waxwings (winter's first).  and about 20 bluebirds.

Other stuff included the usual suspects, and our resident flock of chipping 
sparrows ( about 15).

We also saw about a dozen male cardinals working the bushes for grapes.

We went butterflying Sunday at Quail Roost and saw a female lesser scaup, 
and a coopers hawk as well as a bunch of meadowlarks.

Georgeous day.
