The days leading up to Solstice were sunny, beautiful, warm-ish. We have had more birds coming in every day, lined up to take baths, and flitting around in the trees, shrubbery and on our porch. Many immatures. We finally saw our first immature white-crowned sparrow yesterday. Many immature siskins, there must be 2 dozen siskins in our backyard presently. And almost that many nuthatches. This morning we saw two golden-crowned kinglets bathing together, we are assuming one is a young one. So far only one at a time, till today. Still seeing immature crossbills. Myrtle's warblers. Robins. Both kinds of jays. Heard a song sparrow yesterday. A very quick sighting of possibly a Savannah Sparrow at the bath.
Today, the day after Solstice, a bit windy, still sunny-ish. Fog floating around, so it's not warm. It's so exciting to see all the immatures coming in, and possibly other new visitors who see the activity and come check it out.
