We speculated about whether today would produce more birds. In our yard, it
sure has. We walked through the open space by our house, and between that and
our feeders, we have a count of 37 species! The only unusual one (doubted by
eBird), a Gray Flycatcher IDd by its downward tail flick. In summary:
Lingering summer species: 4 Turkey Vultures, 1 House Wren, 16 Western
Bluebirds, 3 Western Meadowlarks, 6 Lesser Goldfinches (adult feeding young).
Migrants: 1 Gray Flycatcher, 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 2 Orange-crowned, 1
Yellow-rumped, & 6 Wilson's Warblers, 12 White-crowned, 1 Lincoln's, and 10
Vesper sparrows.
Winter arrivals: 5 Blue Jays, 3 Townsend's Solitaires, 17 (!) Spotted
Towhees under the feeder.
Wanderers: 8 Bushtits, 1 Red-breasted & 5 Pygmy nuthatches.
