Thanks so much for the visits by great birders the past four days. A
great group of people and I picked up a number of valuable tips on
birding.
Particular thanks of course to the Summer Tanager and his "opening
act" the Eastern Towhee, both cooperated wonderfully by appearing
within 15-20 minutes of visitors arrivals Thursday thru Saturday.
Other birds seen during visits:
White-Crowned and White-Throated Sparrows
Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher
Black-White Warbler
Ruby-Crowned Kinglet
House Wren
Downy, Hairy, and Red-Bellied WPs
Yellow-Rumped Warbler
Blue Jay
Cardinal
Lincoln's Sparrow
BC Chickadee
WB Nuthatch
Common Grackle
Red-Wing Blackbird
Mourning Dove
Brown-Headed Cowbird
HSP
E. Starling
Goldfinch
and of course a brief look at a female Blue Grosbeak
Sadly the Tanager and Towhee have left, not seen since Saturday evening
Today FOY
Harris' Sparrow
Buzzed by a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird
Rose-Breasted Grosbeak and 2 male Northern Orioles
am anticipating Indigo Buntings and Orchard Orioles
If the three young ladies who visited Friday afternoon could send me
their names I would appreciate it.
I didn't write them down and memory is terrible.
Also my apology for messing up some names in earlier postings, I've
been corrected by others who know them well.
