Just before I left for a weekend in Taos on Friday July 10th, I saw a FOS Rufus
Hummingbird at my feeders. We got home late last night, but I and my
out-of-town guests saw a beautiful male several times at the feeders this
morning.
We also saw a FOS White-breasted Nuthatch…a bird I have not seen here in such a
long time. I thought, in my limited experience, they were here all year…but
they’ve been missing for months and months! It’s good to see the feisty little
buggers, again.
Other birds of late are lots and lots of American and Lesser Goldfinch, several
fledged families of Black-billed Magpie, Bullock’s Orioles, Black-headed
Grosbeaks, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, Grackles, House Finch, House Sparrow,
and of course Starlings.
The White-winged Dove hasn’t been around in awhile…
