Birds in September

The egret is starting to take shape!


Late August starts changes in the seasonal bird populations.

After just having one Rufous for most of July and August...

...on Saturday morning I counted four!
They must be gathering getting ready to head south.  They do not migrate in groups, each bird makes a solo trip. 

Mostly I see Steller's Jays.

But once in a while a California Scrub Jay comes by.

Saturday morning there were two perched in adjoining tree tops.
