Because it was forecast to be another hot day, I was at FWG just after 8:30 this morning. It was already hot. These house finches were lined up to take advantage of the bird bath!
Yellow warblers are back in force. I saw at least 3 pairs plus a couple of singletons. Red-winged blackbird females were busy building nests. Tree swallows are nesting. Chickadees are feeding young, as are robins. Song sparrows are also nesting. A killdeer was flying and calling, on and off for an hour, high over the garden. A crow flew quickly out a spruce tree and nearly crashed into me. I ducked or else I'd have had crow on my face! Orioles, warbling vireos, redstarts, cardinals, and all the regular birds were around. The only unusual bird was a willow flycatcher giving its "Fitz-bew" call.
