I simplified the border, messed with the alphabet, added the year, and my initials.

Plenty of perches this time of year.

A male Black-headed Grosbeak on a lovely, leafy perch.

Two Mourning Doves

And a BIG surprise!

A male California Quail

I've not seen one in well over a year.

No sign of a female though...

He's back!

First of the season male Black-headed Grosbeak.

I've been hearing them singing for a few days.

Then on Friday, the first bird.

Saturday morning I saw three guys and one gal.

They are one of my favorite summer visitors.

Such bold colors.

Welcome back Mr. Big Beak!

Sunday's Hummers

Just a couple of birds this week. 

Male Anna's

Female Rufous

I've also see female Anna's and a male Rufous so I still have a full compliment.

Saturday's Critters

Littler Critters 

Nice to see a chipmunk

And a special evening guest!

A skunk!

Everyone likes sunflower seeds!
