Thanks so much, Thomas and Richard, it's appreciated. So glad the little kinglets are back...yellow-rumped warblers too...I forgot to add our butcherbird friend. I ran into him also on that fine day. Col Sam Smith is the Ashbridges Bay of the west end! Richard, I remember your fine scarlet tanager pictures from last year. Getting that close to such a lovely bird would delight me to the point of lunacy!
