Still waiting to see a group of Waxwings...

Where are they?

Juvenile Starling

The Starlings are back. 3-4 at a time - all youngsters like this one.

The Crow Couple too is at hand.

And finally a Flicker or two has returned.

A lovely female this time.

Here's to a new week and a new season.

Up high!

A raven

A couple of crows

And first of the year (season) sighting of a golden-crowned sparrow. 

See the golden crown?

I'd heard a bird singing  earlier in the week, but this is the first one I've seen.

I hope more are headed this way.

Some more migrant activity.

Terrible photos, but see the bird atop the tree?

Now can you see it?

I've heard Evening Grosbeaks calling several mornings now.

But I haven't seen one until Tuesday morning.

The bird was way up high, far away, and the light was bad.

But there it is!

Wednesday's Walk

We are expecting rain today.

Hope so, as it is much needed.

 

Off we go before the rain begins.
