Today is quiet, except for a nest of Eurasian Collared Doves which must have come down in the night. Seems late to have fledglings, but 2 are hopping around on the ground, can’t fly yet & their hatched eggs & some sticks are under a blue spruce.

Yesterday, saw my first DE Junco of the season. And a flush of 6-7 each RB Nuthatches & RC Kinglets came through. A single House Wren was present yesterday & the most numerous migrants today are the White-crowned Sparrows (30+). Buteos appear to be staging, mainly RT Hawks & saw a lone Swainson’s Hawk.
