Bummer !!!
Spotted towhee, numerous Lincoln, white crown, white throated and chippys at the dacha still today. White eye and yellow throat vireos showed up about a week ago. Summer Tanager first seen on Friday. No sign of great crest fly yet.
I’ve watched a number of these webinars from Los Angeles Birders. There’s one coming up on August 8 that looks interesting. Or you can find one that interests you in their archives. Grand Challenges at the Frontiers of Bird Science LA Birder Webinars
It’s that time of year again. We’re on our 3rd group of Sandhills going over the dacha today 75-100 in each group. (Not sure they’re visible in pix)
On Saturday Eric texted me about Franklin’s gulls at Hornsby and I was sorry to miss. But on Sunday driving back from Dallas I hit the mother-lode!!!! I watched for at least 45 minutes and guestimated 3000-4000 gulls went by!! What a blast!!! And you’ll never guess the wonderful nature setting where I witnessed this………………………………….
On a walk in the neighborhood I had some nice birds today, ash throated, vermillion, scissors flys, grasshopper, lark, chippy, savanna and brewers sparrows, and black capped vireo. No pix.
