Sunday walk at Post Park

This morning started out very cold and breezy - being half asleep from the time change didn't help! Four of us eventually braved the elements and found a few 'first of season' (FOS) birds as well as some of the regulars. Noticeably absent: Black Phoebe (again) and Pyrrhuloxia. Critters of interest are in bold.
