I must be doing something right.  Today seems to have been my lucky day.  I
came home from school and despite the rain, I grabbed an umbrella and went
for a walk down a neighborhood path with my 8-month-old baby girl.  The path
goes by a greenbelt behind a bunch of houses.  I could see some warblers
flying around in the treetops, so I went back home and got my binoculars.
First one I got my glasses on was a nice male Cerulean Warbler!  I could see
the streaked sides, dark throat-band across white throat/breast/belly, and
the blue-hued upperparts were apparent whenever there were leaves or
something solid behind him.  I also saw a couple of Yellow Warblers, a Palm
Warbler, and 3 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks in the same area.  A Spotted
Sandpiper and Great-blue Heron were on the shore at the neighborhood
pond. Add that to the Mourning Warbler and other birds this morning on
campus...not a bad day for never actually "going" birding!

Good birding!
