A rich time of year, many birds, adult and immatures, coming in to feed, bathe, drink. This morning, the sun caught a beautiful stellar jay sitting in the spruce tree right outside our window. His feathers were gleaming iridescently, and I tried to capture it with a camera, no luck.
Last evening, twice, a golden-crowned kinglet showed up to bathe, both times, the golden crown was slightly raised and exposed the little bit of red that they have in there somewhere.
Juncos, nuthatches, boreal and black-capped chickadees, one male/female redpoll pair, myrtle warblers, white-crowned sparrows, robins, gray jays, stellar jays, immature crossbills. The highest number of one species is pine siskins. Golden-crowned kinglets. Swallows way overhead. A very occasional sharp-shinned hawk. This is our summertime backyard fare presently, a nice variety.
