Hi All,
As I was returning from the alley after taking trash out to the dumpster I
noticed something small and yellow bouncing around in one of the shrubs. I ran
in and grabbed my binoculars and was able to locate a yellow warbler(only the
second one I have seen this season), then a lincoln’s sparrow popped out
followed by a spotted towhee. A brown thrasher appeared on top of the fence.
I was amazed by my good fortune when a female western tanager flew into the
backyard. A male black-chinned hummingbird, two cardinals, and blue jay were
the next birds seen. A nice showing for about 15 minutes of standing in the
yard.
