Hi All:
Just when I was getting settled into the post-migration letdown, I spotted a bird in our backyard that had me running for the camera. The bird was a Peach-faced Lovebird and Lisa, me and the gals got great looks and photos. This bird, as I have since found out, is native to Africa. So I'm sure this is an escape, but it sure brought some excitement today. We emailed a friend who has pet birds locally, but they reported no escapes. But someone must have lost this bird.
It is hanging out near our chicken pen, where I put scratch grains. Its still out there making its harsh chip calls from its perch in then shaded trees. Will monitor it and see how long it stays around....Isn't that wild!
