My yard has been slow this fall. Almost nil. A few flycatchers three weeks ago. The past two weeks, Western Tanager Townsend's Warbler Swainson'sThrush The past two days things livened up a bit. Spotted Towhee Brown Thrasher 5 Warblers yesterday Nashville Wilson's Yellow Orange-crowned Yellow-rumped Several White-crowned Sparrows have taken up residence this week. This evening 2 Kingfishers flew into the yard on their annual fall visit. The Blue Jays scolded them continuously. The Kingfishers nest down at the Poudre River on 35th Avenue so I always wonder if and why they come up here where there is no river. After the sun went down I heard a loud squaking at the peanut feeder on the deck.It was a Scrub Jay. The last time the Scrub Jays came to my yard in the fall was during the fires above Boulder. I believe there are fires now. Two of those Scrub Jays spent that winter with me. Now at 7:30PM the Great Horned Owl is hooting in the trees on the east fence line. It has been hooting for about 4 weeks. Isn't that a bit early? A great day of birds, besides the pond area north of Crow Valley Recreation area, in the pasture White Crowned Sparrows Brown Thrasher Catbird White Throated Sparrow Yellow Rumped Warblers Goldfinches Meadow Larks Spotted Towhee Cedar Waxwings Red-tailed and Swainson's Hawks along the Highway driving out to Crow.
