There have been dozens of Robins (Turdus migratorius) bouncing around the yard and in the oak tree outside my office window. There was also a Nuttall's Woodpecker (I think) in the office oak for a few moments too.

I just planted my garlic. From the north to the south: California Red, California Pink, German Red, Early California. Nothing fancy; just what they had at our local farmers markets.
