It's now posted out of reach and I have at least 3 male Broad-tailed Hummers fighting over it.
I usually have a male Lazuli Buntings hanging around, but this year I've seen at least 3 along with a couple of females.
A mini-irruption of male Western Tanagers this year, 3-4 at a time. Multiple females as well.
Numbers of both American and Lesser Goldfinches are markedly up this year.
Most interestingly, the following two birds.
A Band-tailed Pigeon. A lifer for me and only spotted once - BIG, white blaze on the nape, and bright yellow feet.
What appears to be a male hybrid red-shafted / yellow-shafted flicker - red V on the back of the head AND red lores. Definitely red-shafted. Does this sound like a hybrid, or is it possible for a red-shafted flicker to have a red blaze on the back of the neck?
