I stopped by the cemetery around 3:30 and after poking around the usual sections, finally heard the red breasted nuthatches. I saw one surprisingly vivid little bird picking around in the taxus. He picked one of the red berries, flew over to the maple tree with it, and then worked on extracting the seed. There were at least two red breasted nuthatches there, probably three. (In section 2.) Also the largest number of chipping sparrows I've ever come across. I've settled on 54 for my ebird entry, but I think that is a modest count. They were just everywhere I looked.
