Two more birds this week: Chipping sparrow - a flock were foraging in the front yard grass. Female rufous-sided towhee - Bill and I watched her for a long time, but all we saw for the first 3 or 4 minutes was the dead leaves flying as she scratched fiercely for bugs under the azaleas. Very neat when she finally showed herself. This is 29 species this year, I think. Maybe I'm paying more attention than usual?
