Am I prophetic?
Someone just reported another gull from our “uncommon 7” list. Hoping a B3er will find one this winter!!
Been uppies and dickcissels going over regularly in small numbers this morning at “The Dacha “. Also been hearing the snap of warbler bills in small groups. The ones I got on were yellow warblers. Pretty sure I heard the “ick” call of an oriole, but could not find him. And Dacha bird #137 is…………….what…
Another Empid. I watched this one about 30 minutes. I’ll only say this one is from Oregon. Your diagnosis?
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!!!
We have at least 3 rufous hummers at our Fort Davis place. The notch in R2 (2nd tail feather (retrices) from the middle) in one of the pix is diagnostic. Full adult male just showed up!! (more pix to come)
