Our first-of-season *female broad-tailed hummingbird* arrived at 4:15 yesterday (April 19) at one of our feeders. We've had as many as three males, but this is the first female. Also yesterday, In Roxborough's Haney Park, we had two *turkey vultures* feeding on a deer carcass; the resident *red-tailed hawk* pair; one *sharp-shinned hawk*; and one unknown accipiter and one unknown buteo, which were about 100 yards out so I couldn't nail them with my 10X42s for certain ID. The seven raptor sightings aren't remarkable, but that they were spotted in a 10-minute span is notable. Factor in the Western bluebirds, Say's phoebes, jousting spotted towhees, bushtits and the regulars, and there were far more birds than people out and about.
