Headed down to the Snake for a bit of fly-fishing. I didn’t have any takes but watched an Osprey hit mid-stream about 100 yds below me & then leave the water, flying right by me with an 18″ brown trout in its talons. Good to see some luck was happening.
Back at the house, refilled the nectar feeder & within 5 minutes of setting it back out had a female Rufous & a female Black-chinned taking turns at it. Didn’t see any male Rufous today, but had one come in yesterday AM. Thanks for all the responses. Appears fall Rufous migration is underway.
