Had a new one this evening. A female Spotted Towhee feeding a juvenile Brown-headed Cowbird. There was also a juvenile Spotted Towhee nearby, but couldn’t tell who it belonged to, as several adult Towhees about. 

 

Also had a Gray Catbird come through, working among the cottonwoods. I’ve heard several this summer & know they’ve nested on place in the past. BC Hummingbird males & females hitting the feeder & female Rufous. I thought with the heat & smoke, I’d get a lot more hummer visitors. But, if anything, numbers are down.
