This year's first fawn!

There it is!

Sticking close to mom

Attempting to nurse

Getting brave

So tiny

Some seasonal changes are noticeable.

The American Goldfinches have lost their breeding colors.

They are much duller looking.

And look who has returned!

The Golden-crowned Sparrows are back.

I heard one singing...

Then saw a couple of them.

No big numbers yet, but that will happen as October progresses.

And now for a Spotted Towhee Lesson.

I just learned to tell males and females apart.

The bird on the left is a male, the one on the right is a female.  

Here she is - her "black" head is much lighter colored than a male.

And here's another male for comparison.

His head is black, black, black.

And there you go!

Now you know.

Birds are still on the move. Take a look at the night migration in your area at Birdcast. 

During the day I got to see a group of 10-12 Evening Grosbeaks on the move.

I'm hoping the Band-tailed Pigeons will get out of town soon!

I now have 25-30 birds!  Yikes! 

Sadly, I seem to have just the lone male California Quail.

The Steller's Jays say, "We're not going anywhere!"

"So there!"

And the female Hairy Woodpecker will stick around too.

She's kinda' cute I think.
