This afternoon, while sipping tea on the back deck, my friend and I saw a Northern Harrier - fly through our backyard, over the deck, and off to the trees east of our house. He was about 30' up in the air, not that far above us, so we got a really good jaw-dropping look at him. Later on, we heard woodpeckers drumming, low and high both. I imagined a big dead tree and a small branch on the same tree. Or maybe two different drummers.
One of our stellar jays has an unusual cockscomb, very ruffled, uneven, missing some feathers. Otherwise, he seems healthy and vital.
Many white-crowned immatures are coming in to the front yard, under our picture window. Seems like dozens.
