While waiting for my carpet cleaners, from my front porch, I watched between 7 and 10 Scaly-breasted Munia’s visit my feeders at the corner of Almaden Lake Drive and Fairhope Place. This is about 1/4 mile (6 very short blocks) up Almaden Lake Drive from Winfield (Almaden Lake- east entrance).
They are here daily.

Do not disclose information that identifies the location of nesting birds of any species, to minimize stress on the nesting birds and the risk of vandalism or abuse.
