Its been awhile since I've joined the discussion here.
This past Saturday morning I had easily 150 plus Bohemian Waxwings in the tops of the trees at my home. I was awakened by the shrill whistle of their voices. It was very cool! Beautiful birds. Must be massing together, getting ready to boogie out of here.
Later on, as I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee, I got my first Lesser GoldFinch of the year at the Nyjer Seed feeder. Striking colors on this bird. Very dark, almost completely black back and lemon yellow breast and belly.
Getting pretty excited for the Spring!
Reinhold Jockel and Buck Russell saw a Say's Phoebe up Smithfield canyon on Saturday afternoon.
Looking forward to the GSL Bird Fest. Hope to see some of you there this year.
Peace,
Stephen Peterson
