[EBB Sightings] Lakewood, Walnut Creek: Orange-crowned Warbler, Fox Sparrow

This past week has seen an uptick in backyard sightings here in the  
Lakewood section of Walnut Creek. Backyard firsts were FOX SPARROW and  
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER. Today had an inquisitive first of the year  
bright RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD checking my watering efforts around the yard.

The usual cast of suspects (Western Scrub Jays, Dark-eyed Juncos,  
Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Oak Titmice, White-breasted Nuthatches,  
Mourning Doves (apparently we have a nesting pair), Yellow-rumped  
Warblers, Anna's Hummingbirds, Bewicks Wrens) continue to make  
presence known.
