Least weasel

Early evening yesterday, saw a tiny weasel running through the backyard grasses and in and out of little miniature tunnels, he was so small, maybe a least weasel but seemed much shorter than the 8-10" they are supposed to be. Also heard a varied thrush late last night, around 10:30 pm. Always a lovely sound hearing thrushes at sundown. Have been seeing myrtle's warblers and robins, white-crowned and golden-crowned sparrows. Yesterday saw a baby redpoll being fed by an adult.

New Returning Bird

This afternoon while watching for the partial solar eclipse (which we never really saw because of overcast) I saw a Myrtle's warbler fly into the bird bath and splash around. First one of the season. Yippee!
