Well hello there!

And who might you be?

I think....

I think it's a Yellow-rumped Warbler.

A rarer bird for me. I had one fly through in April 2024 during migration.

Before than it's a December 2021 sighting.

A quiet day

Juncos lurking in the shrubs and brush

Golden-crowned Sparrows at suet 

And still more Juncos gobbling down suet.

Wednesday's Walk

The recent rain has refreshed things.  Let's go take a look.

Bright green licorice moss.

Bit of color.

Oak galls

Someone's summer home

I watched a mixed flock of kinglets and chickadees in the oak trees.  Here's a chickadee. 

Mosses and lichens

All the leaves have fallen...

...except for the willows!

The Big Creek

Osier dogwood stems

Nootka rose hips

Nootka rose leaves.

Oh, it's begun to rain. Time to seek shelter.

What's going on?

Well I continue to see a White-crowned Sparrow.

The head markings are pristine.

And there are several Song Sparrows out and about.

The crow couple is semi-regular too.

And the Answer Is...

And the answer is...

It's a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

That's what my expert bird leaned toward.

And on Sunday morning as it was flitting around in the bushes it was chatting away making perfect kinglet call sounds.

I hope it continues to be a morning 'regular'.
