New arrivals on my patch this morning: Palm Warbler and Eastern Phoebe. GC Kinglet also showed up after being missing for a while.
this sounds like an episode of a spy/action/thriller miniseries I want to watch. Where was GC Kinglet? Is it the same one, or an imposter sent to sabotage the mission? Who are Warbler and Phoebe? Can they be trusted? - t-ra: sentimental gorgon

From Wikipedia Picture Of The Day; March 17, 2015: A caterpillar of a Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar dispar).

People should realize we are in a new era. The idea of your nice little green lawn getting watered every day, those days are past. - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...
Sheesh, I didn't realize this hadn't been implemented statewide until just now. AFAICR the City of L.A. has had a 3-days-a-week watering schedule since 2009 (although, to be fair, enforcement has probably been minimal.) - Victor Ganata
