This afternoon at our feeders in northwest Fort Collins, we had 2 brown thrashers. We watched one pull an earthworm up and then they proceeded to fight over the juicy thing! Then they pecked at leavings under the suet.
Also showing up today were 3 male Lazuli buntings, a pair of bushtits, a downy woodpecker, a hairy woodpecker, a house wren, a mourning dove, many goldfinches, a Say's phoebe (on the fence looking in), a black chinned hummingbird, 2 broad-tailed hummingbirds, an orange crowned warbler, 2 white crowned sparrows, a yellow rumped warbler, a northern harrier (seen over the vacant field next to the house), a meadowlark (singing on the fence), and the other usual suspects.
Quite the afternoon at home! This was after we had gone elsewhere birding!
