And to continue our yard birds, just in the span of about 15-20 minutes this morning, I spotted 21 species, the first being a black-headed grosbeak! Others included the spotted towhee that has been singing his heart out, the 2 bush tits (around a while and probable nesters), 3 male western tanagers, about 10 Pine Siskins vying for place at the thistle feeder, 1 clay colored sparrow (just around for the excitement), 2 broad-tailed hummingbirds, American goldfinches (males bright yellow), a downy woodpecker, and a Bullock’s oriole, all while a red-tailed hawk was seen soaring just outside the yard. Plus the usual suspects, magpie, flickers, etc. Thanks Doug for the great Poorwill story! Those stories just around our home are inspiring to keep a closer watch and be out at odd hours too.
