Good morning all....
Got up this morning to a calling Red-shouldered Hawk in the backyard....so
I came down and sat in my bird watching chair....have Black-headed Grosbeaks at
the feeders, an adult male and what looks like three young .....I am thinking
that due to their plumage....just a little orange color on the chest, stomach
has no color and they have streaks along the flanks....the dad is amazing in
color....rich orange with a lemon yellow line down the stomach....his white
markings are just so different.... his vent is pure white....
While watching the birds at the feeder.....I had a pair of Western Tanagers
come to the railing and then to the bird bath....He was just amazing .....bright
orange face and top of head, his yellow body....she looked like she had been
through the mill....poor thing... What a great morning sighting.....
Lots of birds today: Chickadees, Oak Titmice, Junco's everywhere, Stellar's
and Scrub Jays, House Finch, Red-winged Blackbirds, Cowbirds, Rock Doves,
Mourning Doves, Bewick's Wrens, Nuthatch, two Nuttall's male and female....CA
Towhee pair....
Wishing you all a good week ahead....
My best regards,
Linda Sullivan
Los Gatos
PS I was driving up to Sacramento this past weekend and had a group
of 10-15 Red-tailed Hawks flying together....never saw this before...any ideas
(other than a Red-tailed Hawk convention)?
