We speculated about whether today would produce more birds. In our yard, it sure has. We walked through the open space by our house, and between that and our feeders, we have a count of 37 species! The only unusual one (doubted by eBird), a Gray Flycatcher IDd by its downward tail flick. In summary:
Lingering summer species: 4 Turkey Vultures, 1 House Wren, 16 Western Bluebirds, 3 Western Meadowlarks, 6 Lesser Goldfinches (adult feeding young).
Migrants: 1 Gray Flycatcher, 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 2 Orange-crowned, 1 Yellow-rumped, & 6 Wilson's Warblers, 12 White-crowned, 1 Lincoln's, and 10 Vesper sparrows.
Winter arrivals: 5 Blue Jays, 3 Townsend's Solitaires, 17 (!) Spotted Towhees under the feeder.
Wanderers: 8 Bushtits, 1 Red-breasted & 5 Pygmy nuthatches.
