Seems a bit early for our local (red superman cape) breeding juncos to come down out
Of the mountains. 1 seen briefly at the water feature. I’ve had them winter until May
30th before, but I think this is my first July sighting.
Had a western tanager and female black-headed grosbeak sitting side by side waiting
A turn at the suet (house finch was camped out on it). Nice picture that I didn’t get!
Seems a poor year for calliope hummers; maybe a plethora of wildflowers means they
Aren’t at the (my) feeders? I’ve only seen 1 or two.
Red crossbills have been daily here for 3 months; pinyon jays not seen much, so NOT
Very reliable currently. Hairy woodpecker family is a real hoot; the youngsters will
Do almost anything (land on a vertical ½ in metal pole and stay there for 3 minutes looking
Around, etc. Don’t know what they will do for fun when I take the hummingbird feeders
Down, as they pop off 3-5 yellow flowers daily.
