The other 7am

First time since the tine change and of course I'm now an hour behind everything. A pleasant calm day probably resulted in successful early feeding and relatively slow birding by the time I arrived.
Nothing on the pond but 2 female-type Hooded Merganser upstream from cardinal bridge.
On the slope down to the riverbed I watched a red fox settle down to sleep in the sun but that meant that my Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Yellow-rump moved up the hill




Near the dog park a small group of sparrows included a chipping sparrow which was much less co-operative than this Junco, the former hiding away at the top of a tree while I tried to turn it into something more exotic with no luck...
