Hi,

I had the afternoon free, so I too went to Pleasant Hill Cemetery, got there
at 1:30 but didn't see Angus! But I did meet the 2 Clarences (Sr. and Jr.),
and saw 2 Cardinals, several Blackpoll warblers, a Sharpie being harassed by
Blue jays, a Winter wren, lots of Blackpoll and Y-R warblers, some Song and
White-thr. sparrows, and a Dicksissel as the only rarity. Had to leave after
1 1/2 hours.

Richard
