Very limited pre-school bus birding this morning revealed a NORTHERN 
WATERTHRUSH in our yard, aggressively chasing away finches.

Visiting our equines is an apparent exotic pigeon. Both legs are banded, 
as can be seen in the image linked below. I know nothing about them, but 
am wondering whether there might be an owner looking for this bird? A 
number on the orange band ends with ...828.
