Birds, was Rain

[Guest guest]

I sent this and it came back as bouncing. I don't know how you bounce to a

list, just to individuals, I thought. So here's the second try.

 

The birds are out in force around here right now. They start in earlier and

are noisier than roosters <g> We love watching the birds and trying to find

how many we can ID.

 

Lots of colorful birds, too. We have VERY noisy Stellar Jays, bright blow

and noisy Scrub Jays, noisy Acorn Woodpeckers that argue with each other,

little and cute Downy Woodpeckers, Ravens as big as buzzards!, really bright

blue Western Bluebirds, and some little tiny finches we haven't ID'd yet.

Last week the Western Tanager moved in (they are bright yellow with black

wings and a red head) and the Hummingbirds have come back (Rufus, Anna's and

Calliope). Oh, the Band-Tailed pigeons and robins came back about a month

ago. We have a Great Blue Heron that lives year round down the road a bit

at the big pond the organic farmer put in.

 

We've got lots of hawks, have seen a Bald Eagle and a couple of Golden

Eagles plus some owls. We have a pair of wild turkeys that roam in the

" rough " area next to our driveway.
