Hi
We had a small flock of yellow rumped warblers arrive two days ago as well as a Wilson’s warbler or possibly an American Yellow warbler visiting yesterday.
The back yard is alive with birds and their songs. Pileated woodpecker, Downy, Hairy woodpeckers and Northern Flickers visit daily. 50 or more American Gold finches, scores of Red winged Blackbirds, and now White Crowned and Gold Crowned sparrows. Great Blue Herons fly by regularly as are the Redtailed Hawks and a little Sharpshinned at our water baths. Turkey Vultures circle in the sky as do the eagles. The Robins tried to build a nest but the crows destroyed it. Stellers Jays are behaving themselves but always fun to watch.
You don’t need cable nature shows this time of year.
The red squirrels are wrestling constantly but never give up.
Happy birding to all
Mike
