A Swainson's Thrush was on the ground under a potted dogwood. It flushed as a Western Scrub-Jay came squawking to a nearby platform feeder with peanuts. A couple minutes later, the Swainson's Thrush returned to "it's spot" under the dogwood. It eventually flew to the birdbath/dripper, took a drink and returned to the dogwood. It eventually flew away again amongst all the feeding activity going on this evening. (Mourning Doves, Rock Dove, Brown-headed Cowbirds, W-S Jays, House Finch, House Sparrow, Lesser and American Goldfinch (at thistle feeder). Heard an Oriole in the neighbor's Bottlebrush Tree. We also noticed an increase in the number of Anna's Hummingbirds coming to the sugarwater feeders. They come and go, so it's hard to get a good count. So far this spring the numbers counted at the same time have been either 2-3, but this evening, we counted 6 individuals on the three feeders. (Same batch of sugarwater, but they all wanted to fight mainly over one feeder. Go figure those little hummers.) -- Randy & Janet Little, Milpitas, CA [[email protected]] "I bird because the voices in my head tell me to."
