It must be getting spring! A short walk down the main path at Bald Hill
Park this morning produced my FOY RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD (1 male) and
VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS (2), plus 2 TURKEY VULTURES soaring overhead and a
few TREE SWALLOWS checking out nest boxes..
Love was in the air: I watched a male NORTHERN HARRIER perform his aerial
loop display in front of a seemingly unimpressed female, while a pair of
RED-TAILED HAWKS circled amorously above the tree line.
And there was music everywhere: Songsters were out in full force, including
MOURNING DOVE, HUTTON'S VIREO, BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE, BEWICK'S WREN,
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, SPOTTED TOWHEE, SONG SPARROW, OREGON JUNCO, HOUSE and
PURPLE FINCHES and LESSER GOLDFINCH.
A beautiful day for a morning walk!
Good birding
Hendrik
