Zeeeeeeee, Texbirds! I had given up on having Pine Siskins visit me this winter, but zeeeeeeeeeeee!...there they are right now. They have joined Lesser and American Goldfinches at the feeders. Had a few Common Grackles here the day before yesterday, a rare bird at this location. Am still seeing the Common Ravens off and on. I have to wonder if it is the Red Bud Isle pair that Dan Smith spoke of in one of his posts. Perhaps they have a wide foraging range. Still only seeing Black-chinned hums, no Ruby-throateds yet. I am also checking every male to see if last year's magenta-gorget, possible hybrid hum has returned...no luck yet.
