Got bird # 149 at the Dacha recently (found by Mary)

Here’s a reminder for Eastern Empids. Any one want to reevaluate the Empid I had at Dacha?

These guys are pests to native species, but there is some interesting plumage this time of year.

I have a couple. This first one is from NE Oregon on 6/21/22, in Wallawa mountains at 6500 feet in meadows with trees adjacent to pine/oak woodlands. There were at least 5 of the same species within a few 100 yards of each other vocalizing many times.
Had clay colored sparrow and black chin hummer for first time this spring at the dacha. Fos white eyed vireo this week. Still have 4 species of winter sparrows, su skins and spot towhee.
