They chased each other around on the ground. They must have come last night in the storm. Heard a House Wren in Leiders Addition on the way back.

This morning after breakfast. I went over in the river woods. A Ruby-crowned Kinglet fed in front showing no fear whatever. I came to within a pace of it before I saw. It was feeding on the little insects that were just being warmed into life by the sun. It was quick and alert in its motions and kept its feathers well puffed out because of the cold. Followed the song of a Palm Warbler across a pasture and saw the bird sitting quiet in a tree singing. When it saw me it flew down and then as followed it went across the river.
