Wednesday morning was a particularly productive time to watch and listen to the birds in the backyard.

I had four FOS - first of the season (autumn) birds.  I heard my first Varied Thrush, and saw a couple of Fox Sparrows.   

I was excited to find this White-throated Sparrow amongst a group of Golden-crowned Sparows.

The white throat is a distinctive marker... 

...as is the yellow lust above the eyes. 

Here he is facing off with a Golden-crowned Sparrow.

The final FOS bird was this small Ruby-crowned Kinglet.  They tend to flit around - never still - so I was pleased with this capture.
