These guys are pests to native species, but there is some interesting plumage this time of year.
Something I just learned: male Bushtit dark eyes, female light.
Walked Platte Lane area of Hornsby this morning. Pretty slow, but we were jawing. Did get Least and Yellow-bellied flycatchers, which was a pleasure to ID confidently!! Didn’t try for pix. Anybody else out birding?
Love the antics and appeal of the Pygmy Nuthatches!!
Another Empid. I watched this one about 30 minutes. I’ll only say this one is from Oregon. Your diagnosis?
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.
