Hummingbirds becoming more common..

There are more hummingbirds now, enough that there are fights fairly often. The most common birds at the feeder these days though are the house sparrows. There still seem to be some young ones begging for food. Pine siskins are also plentiful. But there are also a few chickadees now and also some red breasted nuthatches.

We drove to Winnipeg and back yesterday. I did not see any new birds unless some of the ducks on the sloughs were ones I have not seen before. I was not close enough to identify any of them. We did see a mourning dove. Of course there are plenty of red-winged blackbirds but I did not see a single yellow headed blackbird.
