This past week, I’ve had visits by all my favorites. I am still getting feeder visits (& also hitting the begonias) by a female Black-chinned Hummingbird. I have at least 4 pr of Black-headed Grosbeaks coming in for seeds, as well. There are 2 pr & maybe more of Lazuli Buntings on the place. And I get early morning visits by Bullock’s Orioles.

One of my favorites, was a male Western Tanager which came through early AM the other day. I have to pull my seed feeders each evening, as a moose keeps making night visits and nearly destroying my feeders. So, I put them back out early mornings & the W Tanager flew right overhead and landed in a nearby cottonwood, allowing me a very satisfying observation.
