Jan and I woke yesterday to a new Rufous/Allen's juvenile male Hummingbird.
He has taken up residence right outside our kitchen window on some vines
not 5-6 feet from the feeder there. He has been very calm even with us
moving around by that window. WOW what a difference a few months make. We have
gone from dry and hot at the end of the summer to cold and about to float
off here. I have lost track of how much rain we have had bit when I got up
this morning there were 6 Egrets in our ditch out front. Four Snowy's and two
Greats.
I went over to the JJ Meyes Trace yesterday for a couple of hours and it
was very quite compared to two days ago. Could not refind the Canvasbacks,
Ring-necked Ducks and the Scaup that I think was a Greater. I did see a
beautiful Krider's Red-tailed Hawk that some other birders had in there scope
when I arrived. Also saw the juvenile Bald Eagle they had already seen. I did
find the one lone dark Ibis but before I could get a scope on it, it
dissapeared into the weeds, So still have to call it White-faced.
