More bathing beauties

The Pedrick Road 'birdbath' along Putah Creek continues to draw in interesting birds, most notable of which was yesterday's Chestnut-backed Chickadee, the first one seen in the Central Valley this year! Here are a few shots of some of the regular (and less regular) visitors.

3 Wilson's and a Yellow Warbler

Western Tanager

I'd finally lined up a shot of my first Fox Sparrow of the fall, only to have it ruined by a fly-by Yellow Warbler!
