A short stroll in the gloom around 2pm showed me nothing but pigeons, sparrows (White-Throated and House), and a couple of catbirds, until I reached the northeast corner of the plaza in front of the library. There I was greeted by an Ovenbird strolling unconcernedly around and under the tables where people were eating lunch. Then it decided that the best route to its next destination was right through my legs. Never seen one act like that before. Quite charming.
A couple of Ruby-Crowned Kinglets were in the trees there, and a pair of Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers showed up after a few minutes.
