Sialia mexicana
Thursday Jan 14 was a good day for birds. A handful of western bluebirds came by early in the morning. It was overcast and calm, and the birds were after a drink.

Also saw, for the first time, a female Cassin's Finch this morning, and got a picture or two of a swarm of bushtits on the suet feeder.

We did not see many of these bluebirds last winter, but have seen them a bit more often this winter. We have had a much colder winter this year.
