I'm not sure a conclusion can be drawn concerning the differences
between Mountain Bluebird and Western Bluebird survival rates. There
were likely several thousand Mountain Bluebirds present and perhaps
200-300 Western Bluebirds present (perhaps 15% of MOBL). Birders do

A female Black-chinned Hummingbird briefly visited my feeder (Pinyon - Juniper

Today was a big day for Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawk migration! 33

eagle ( immature, I think) fly over head and roost between Waneka and
Greenlee.
