Since just before noon today, Joanie and I have hosted
a female/immature Rufous/Allen's Hummingbird. It fed
at the feeders and spent much time flycatching in the
yard. Photos/video obtained. At least two
Ruby-throated hummers are still present also.
A steady drizzle this afternoon was a delight for the
birds, and they were the most active I've seen them in
a long time. The yard was alive with them, and I
spent most of the afternoon going from window to
window enjoying them as they fluttered in the puddles
and against the dripping foliage. What a relief it
must be from the dry weather. Fifty-four species were
observed in the yard with the following highlights:
Appr. 150 high-flying DC Cormorants headed south
Merlin fly-over headed south
Pewee
Brown Creeper
Winter Wren
R-c Kinglet
Blue-headed Vireo
White-eyed Vireo
Tn Warbler
Magnolia
Yellow-rumped
Black-throated Green
Palm
Ovenbird
C Yellowthroat
Swamp Sparrow
Sometimes it's real nice to just stay at home.
