I decided to walk to the back of the yard late afternoon as there is still a small amount of water in the stream. I flushed a Cooper's Hawk and, after things settled down, heard 2 White-throated Sparrows and a Golden-Crowned Kinglet. While looking for the Sparrows, I noticed a small, dark bird bathing under the remnants of a wood bridge and found a Winter Wren! I returned to the patio to enjoy the late day sun and saw 2 Brown Creepers foraging in the trunks of Black Cherry Trees. Beautiful weather for November 4!
