I just had a FOS male Calliope. FOS male Rufous was on 7/6. About a week ago I calculated Broad-tailed numbers based on food consumption at 56, but there has been a big increase in recent days. I'll do a new calculation later this week. Also, I've had a few Cassin's Finches for several weeks, currently 1 male, 1 female and 1 youngster. A male Indigo Bunting was here briefly on 7/7 Lots of other kids here now. including Hairy Woodpecker, House Finch, Black-billed Magpie, American Kestrel and Blue Jays. The Western Bluebird families seem to be missing in recent days. Down by the highway, I've been able to count at least 3 Western Kingbird young in the nest on the utility pole where they've been in past years. The award for the cutest kids goes to the newly fledged House Wrens, and they are remarkably agile and mobile.
