We took a trip to Rivers the other day. I did not see any new birds. However, we did see an American White Pelican at River's Lake. There were also a few hummingbirds at a feeder at the yard where we had a birthday celebration. There is no sign of hummingbirds leaving as yet even though there have been some quite cool nights.
Our feeder is constantly bombarded by hummingbirds who refuse to share the two feeders. Usually a successful feeder perches nearby and dive bombs any intruders but it is of no avail. While chasing off an intruder another will come and feed!
We still have plenty of birds at the other feeder. I have seen several purple finches (photo) including a couple of immature birds that just have a few weak splashs of color as yet.
Chickadees are still frequent visitors as are the goldfinches, pine siskins, and house sparrows.
