I checked Massey Draw beside my home (no public access).early yesterday under still overcast skies It was "continued slow" for migrants, but then at the end of my route several species appeared in a flurry of activity that seemed to materialize on the spot and then dissipated after only a few minutes, as the birds went their own ways. It is exciting when that happens. Here it was Red-naped Sapsucker, a straggling Dusky Flycatcher, Townsend's Warbler, 2 Orange-crowned Warblers, Audubon's, a few Wilson's, a Bushtit flock, and 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglets.
-- A Black-chinned Hummingbird (very confiding) continues at my feeders today, along with 4-5 Broad-taileds, and a Rufous still there yesterday. Among the few returning juncos (still only Gray-headed for my yard) one was singing today, adding a nice touch to the clear blue morning.
I, too, rejoiced in the recent gray skies. But I was happy for the clear skies this morning. Otherwise I'd not have seen Mt. Evans' new clothes.
