Saw flickers, cardinals, downy and red-bellied woodpeckers. Wrens, sparrows of some unknown variety, another cuckoo (just briefly), a couple of hawks (red tail and sharp-shinned), juncos and chickadees. It was cool but not too cool. Here are a couple of pictures:

We were all very intent. (I'm not in this picture.) Though with the luck we were having we were probably intently scrutinizing some bird that turned out, on close inspection, to be....ta, da...a robin!
Sun through a cedar tree. You really can't tell from this picture, but the tree was still wet from the previous night's rain and the droplets were shimmering in the sun.
