Hello all,
Recent yard birds here in the Takilma area, "upper" Illinois Valley,
Josephine Co.
Pairs of both Red-Shouldered and Red-Tailed Hawk are displaying the
last few days. Hope both species nest in "our" Gulch (Scotch Gulch,
trib of the East Fork Illinois) this season.
We have 2 male Selasphorus hummer along with 2 female at the feeder
presently. One male is fully red-backed performing J display dives
(with no "pendulum movements" that I can discern). Clearly a
Rufous. It's been hanging around several days. The other male is
about 70 to 80 % green-backed (with a bit of green on the crown). No
displays for this one that we've seen. I'll tentatively call this
male an Allen's realizing I could be wrong.
A new yard & feeder bird species for us on March 19th: 2 House Finch
(females). Large flocks of Pine Siskin are about and they are
finally feeding in numbers (about 9 right now) on our thistle feeder.
best, RC
