There were a lot of birds active in the neighborhood this morning, including this California Scrub Jay doing its winter-prep acorn gathering.
Others included an unusual flock of 8 Yellow-rumped Warblers ("butterbutts") – they usually come in ones or twos.
Later, on Lake Wildwood, I found the first-of-season winter ducks: a dozen Common Mergansers (11 females and one male).
So, the winter residents are starting to arrive here in the Sierra foothills.
