    I live near the top of the Oakland Hills in Montclair and saw the  
    first Allen's hummingbird this past Wednesday.  He was right on  
    schedule.  I haven't seen it since but there will be more sightings.   
    I also observed titmice and chestnut backed chickadees taking nesting  
    material (cat fur) from my container and saw 2 chickadees visiting  
    one of my nesting boxes yesterday.  Also still have several varied  
    thrush in the yard, one of which has discovered easy pickings around  
    the feeders on my front deck which gives me a good look at her every  
    day from my kitchen window.  I'm still seeing one golden crowned  
    sparrow and a hermit thrush.  With spring almost here there will be  
    more summer birds and the winter birds will soon disappear.  Right  
    now they are overlapping.  There are more than 20 species that  
    currently reside in my area.  Lot's of good birding.
