Ruby-Crowned Kinglet (www.tekipaki.jp/~texbird/ na_bird11.htm)
I get home from work in the early afternoon on Wednesdays, so today I organized some materials for my classes tomorrow and then tossed on my sweatshirt to go for a walk, only to discover that it was pouring. So I did some more work, and finally went out in what was an intense sprinkle.
It was worth it -- the spring bird migration has begun in earnest. In one tree at the lake: a ruby-crowned kinglet, a white-throated sparrow, and a yellow-rumped warbler (better known as a butterbutt). It's gray and foggy and wet out there, but the birds are arriving!
Walked: 3 miles.

Where do you live? It sounds like you have great places to walk.
