We counted 39 species this weekend. That’s the first time since early March
that we’ve counted less than forty, and means that we’re approaching the winter
doldrums.
The Brewers Blackbirds that I posted about, early this afternoon, were a
highlight. I got a look at another, larger flock, that stopped in the trees
closer to the house, later this afternoon. I got better looks this time, but
no photos. There were Redwings mixed in, but I’d still guess that there were
40-50 Brewer’s.
Also, we watched a Sapsucker hanging nearly upside down, while eating
persimmons, this afternoon. I was envious; I love persimmons, but this
particular tree is ~40 feet tall and always produces a great crop…only at the
top.
Turkey Vultures were scarce this weekend, but Black Vultures are really
gathering here now. There were many times that I could see dozens of them in
the air, over the SE fields, during both days.
I nearly had a Bobwhite collide with me this afternoon, as it was being chased
by the Cooper’s Hawk. This juvenile Cooper’s is increasingly tolerant of me
and it was apparently sitting out-of-sight in a shrub, in the pond depression.
It startled me because of the sudden explosion of movement and the hawk
chattered just as the quail buzzed past me. I’ve never heard a Cooper’s do
that before…really neat!
I posted photos (taken yesterday) of a female Hairy and female Downy
Woodpecker, taken a few minutes apart, from the same scope position and in
nearly the same position under the suet cake. Links follow:
