Male Broad-tailed Hummer, Male Rufous Hummer, and at least 2 immature
Ruby-throats here at first light this morning. Many Vultures up already
(Turkey and Black)-the big birds like the ridge in my neighborhood when we
get a strong north wind-hopefully I'll see a Zone-tail Hawk before the day
is over. I had a low fly-by of 6 Corvids that were almost certainly
Chihuahuan Ravens. They were slimmer than my resident Commons, but croaked
(rather than cawed), and had longish wedge-shaped tails. Wing beat was
faster than typical Common, as well. They scooted right on past, rather
than stopping to soar the ridge, so I'm assuming they were migrants.
