Second time in 16 years: energetic bird foraging like a flicker for what looks like tiny grubs in pine duff. I got very excited, thinking I could increase by one our cumulative yardlist, but I had forgotten: a thrasher visited the yard in 2008. So the list stays at 122.
The yard is full of hungry birds this morning, including altitude migrants (Scrub Jay, Steller's Jay, White-crowned Sparrows, Townsend's Solitaire, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Wilson's Warbler). Yesterday at dusk, right after I remarked that I hadn't seen a hummingibrd for 3 days, a tiny young Broad-tailed hummer appeared on one feeder, and spent 10 shivery minutes stoking up for the night, one sip at a time. I haven't seen it today, but hope it survived and headed further south. I plan, as recommended, to keep the feeders out for a week after the last sighting.
