 Heavy frost last night, but sunny this morning. Someone caught a Golden-Crowned Kinglet - I found him lying in the grass, poor thing! His gold and orange crest is vivid, and that's what caught my eye. He is the smallest native bird we have, except for the hummingbird.

 The willow tree is confused: half of the leaves are green, half yellow, and all covered with frost! The yellow leaves were dropping all morning, and by afternoon the tree was markedly greener. In the photo below, you can see some of the leaves in mid-air, and of course the lawn is carpeted with them!
