Just had …
this female Yellow-headed Blackbird at my feeder…if you recall I reported on back on May 20th…and hadn’t seen any sign of her since. I don’t know if this is the same bird or a different one…haven’t heard a male, but then there are so many Evening Grosbeaks about today (not the quietest of birds) they could give even a male YHBlkBd a run for his money in the vocal department! That other bird in the feeder is a male Brown Headed Cowbird, of which we also have LOTS!.
As I ran out to try and ‘capture’ the above bird…I passed a female hummingbird sitting beside my empty feeder, so ran in and grabbed the cup of ‘hummer juice’ that I had meant to put out this morning….and that reminded me I had planned to post some hummingbird pictures today…
So here they are….this is a female Rufous Hummingbird…
I’m hoping for another sunny day when I can sit out by the feeder and hopefully get some pictures of a male….
and of course I still need to capture the pair of Anna’s that are in the park!
