Thank you, Susan, for that excellent tribute and summary regarding the bluetail. I thought so often over the winter what a positive occurrence that whole saga turned out to be for everyone including the bird and the other birds in the area. The bluetail certainly fared better than would have been predicted when it first strayed to North America!
Now vacant from my backyard are juncos. I think the last individuals pulled out in the last two nights. I already miss their quiet presence and subtle tail signalling. White-throats are still here in full-force looking very spiffy.
