Still have two juvenile hummers buzzing the yard. They're prepping to go
as they fill up in long sits at the feeders. They are more fond now of the
annual lantana in the planters than the flowering tobacco and salvias of
last week. The loud clicking of the disturbed Brown Thrasher deep in the
shrubs dominates the song chart daily for the last few days. First white
throated sparrows arrived yesterday. RB Grosbeak female the day before.
Small waves of warblers pour through the yard. Had a flash showing of a wren
but couldn't conclusively ID. Sharp shinned hawk drew my attention with
subtle calls as it hunted the yard from the telephone wire this week. I knew
something of the raptor family was around as a Flicker was calling
incessantly from the top of the birch over the wire while all else was quiet.
And,
though a mourning dove was summarily decapitated this morning beneath the
feeder (a cat probably), the family of three Eurasian Collared Doves
appeared atop the same newly filled feeder shortly thereafter.
Missed yet another Jaegerland extravaganza. Dang!
