Past 2 days have seen the arrival of more juvenile Calliope Hummingbirds. Both males & females & not an adult in the bunch. Black-chinned juveniles are outnumbering the Calliope & it’s always a toss up as to whether they’ll peacefully take up opposite sides of the feeder or do battle! I did have a single juvenile Broad-tailed come in about dinner time.

Lazuli Bunting juveniles are still present with at least 25 around & an add’l 5 adult males. Also, a few more Chipping Sparrows have arrived. There are noticeably fewer BH Grosbeaks around. Only filling my seeds every 2 days, instead of 2-3 times/day.

A friend sent me a link to a “subreddit” entitled “Birds Aren’t Real.” If
you scroll down, you’ll find some interesting videos, etc. Here’s the link:

Hiked about half way up Bald Mountain in SV from the Warm Springs side yesterday. Overall very quiet with long stretches of 0 birds, but I did have a few nice finds including Calliope Hummer, Cordilleran, Dusky, & Hammond’s Flycatchers, & a single Orange-crowned Warbler.
Good birding,
