[Douglbirds] Townsend's Warblers

[KathyDressel at aol.com]

As we sat out on our front deck this evening watching all of the bird 
activity, we spotted a Townsend's Warbler.  It was getting insects from the scrub 
oak.  This is the first time we have had a Townsend's Warbler, at least to our 
knowledge.
At least 12-14 hatch-year Rufous hummingbirds dropped into our yard this 
morning and took over feeders.  In addition, there are at least 6 Calliope 
hummers, also hatch- year.
I thought that all of the Black-headed Grosbeaks were gone until we saw 
another family being fed.  We had at least 4 pair of nesting Black-headed 
Grosbeaks.  Lots of Pine Siskin and Lesser Goldfinch fledglings.  And a few American 
Goldfinch fledglings.

What a great time!
