[obol] "zingers" everywhere!

[sheila chambers]

The swarms are here!

There are swarms of RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRDS  fighting over the feeder and one 
lone ALLEN'S HUMMINGBIRD!, the poor male ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD hasn't a chance 
to protect "his" feeder from the hordes - but he tries.

Also new this week I heard the song of a RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD  and a small 
flock of GEESE.

The BAND-TAILED PIGEONS are starting to trickle in and the "usual suspects" 
are thinning out.
They are as usual FOX, WHITE-CROWN, GOLD-CROWN, WHITE-THROATED, SONG and 
LINCOLIN SPARROWS, HOUSE FINCHES a PURPLE FINCH, AMERICAN ROBINS, FLICKERS, 
BLACK CAPPED and CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES, BREWERS BLACKBIRDS.

Overhead fly the occasional CROW and RAVEN, plus WESTERN GULLS.



Another warning for you STARLING lovers, don't read any further!!!!!





Two STARLINGS entered my nest box trap today.
