I spent a pre-rain hour hiking around the cemetery in the early morning looking for anything, but hoping for rare winter finches!  No luck on the crossbills or siskins, but the cemetery was still surprisingly birdy, with big flocks of robins, starlings, cedar waxwings, and juncos.  And buried in among these were some decent birds, including:

Sapsuckers - 3 different individuals.  In recent years, 3-5 have spent the winter here, and this winter looks to uphold that trend.

Red-br. Nuthatch - 1 is visiting the suet cakes by the Pit; you may need to wait a bit for her to show.

Chipping Sparrows - a startling 7 were mixed in with a large Junco flock towards the NW corner of the cemetery.  They're common migrants here, but this is very late for this kind of number.
