I’ve been in SE Texas, so this may be a lame, ‘old-news’ kinda post but
Broad-tailed hummingbird on 4-14, then not seen again until today
House Wren calling loudly today
Western and Mountain bluebirds been here a while, actively checking out houses.
American Kestrel pair making a lot of noise, but probably will refuse the box again!
Say’s Phoebe calling repeated…I have 2 eave shelves up…maybe I can induce them again. Somebody
Is putting grasses in one, but probably House Finch.
Columbia silkmoth (pair?) apparently joined at the ‘hip’ all morning outside my den window.
Pretty guys – 5.5-6 inch wingspan
Plus the usual suspects, Hairy and Downy, Amer. Goldfinch, both chickadees, Pygmy and WB Nuthatches,
Stellers and occasional Pinyon Jays (especially when I put out peanuts). Calling robin sounded speedy, but
Did not turn out to be a Black-headed Grosbeak. Chipping Sparrows arrived yesterday, I think.
Mourning, Eurasian-Collared, and Rock Doves.
No sign of my usual nesting tree and violet green swallows, or Black-Headed Grosbeak, Lesser Goldfinch,
Or Lazuli Bunting… YET
Lyons area field trip on Mother’s Day – May 13th.
Davis - at 6,000 ft. NW of Lyons
