Yesterday was busy in the yard again, no Canada spotted, but lots of birds:
Morning started out with a group of birds chasing other birds around, turned
out to be the Thrushes (Wood and Swainson's) ganging up on an imm. or female
Rose-breasted Grosbeak, they didn't want it in THEIR Dogwoods! Was hard to
decide who to root for.
Birds seen:
Baltimore Orioles- Imm. and Female
Scarlet Tanangers - lots-males, females, imm.
Summer Tanager- one female
Rose-breasted Grosbeak(s)
Thrushes- Wood and Swainson's -quite a few @6 + 3- guessing, saw a paler one
that
could have been
Gray-cheeked, but was too short
a look :-(
Hummingbirds-2
Brown Thrasher
Eastern Wood Peewee- been seen for a number of days now
Warblers:
Chestnut-sided
American Redstart- male
Magnolias- beautiful and bright
Black and whites- I was looking out 2nd floor window, down at one of the
B&W's skirting along the roof below, looking in the gutters, got
great short distance views of it's underside as it would tip it's head into
the gutter, also saw toes were yellow underneath, after looking in Dunn's
"Warbler's", actually can see a little yellow on imm. toes and maybe spring
adult male.
Also seem to have a lot of Mourning Doves right now, maybe about 25-30.
