Dacha bird #145 flew over yesterday: eastern meadowlark.
Something I just learned: male Bushtit dark eyes, female light.
After birding in the wind and rain most of the day, watching this Merlin eat his meal in the hot tub at Mary’s (us in the hot tub, not the merlin) was quite copacetic!!!
This is for last year, but I wanted to bring your attention to an interesting website (of which you may already be aware). http://www.jeaniron.ca/2019/wff19.htm Keep your eyes open for 20/21 prediction. JeP PS I’m in the process of querying my mentors on a Winter Sparrow Forecast for Texas. Will keep you posted if anything interesting…

Oddly, I’ve run across 3 different birds this year that appear to be runts of the litter. Ring-billed Gull, Long-billed Dowitcher and White Pelican.
