Pacific Northwest 2
Been hearing many of these on the Oregon Coast. Do you know the ID? (not the robin). Been extremely hard to see (much less photo) any of them. Too many trees!!!

Love it when it’s quiet enough to hear the snap of warbler bills. The “snap” may be the warblers popping open elm seeds, as it sounds particularly loud these days. Update: I now believe the snap I hear is the warbler bill coming together on an insect. Not seeds popping. I knew y’all were waiting…
Plus I was visited by an angel!!
Anybody else see this cool local visitor?
Anyone been curious about the word “Wheatear”? According to Peter Mathisson in “The Tree Where Man was Born” it’s old english for “whte arse”. (Painting by David A. Sibley)
I’m not at home, but neighbor asking me about “ those birds flying over in V formation “ = Sandhills. Eyes to the skies!! And ears!! My favorite sound!!!
