Dawn Chorus: open thread Summer Birds [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2023-08-20
No host today so consider this week’s Dawn Chorus an open thread for your birdy observations of the week.
I’ll kick this off with a few birdies I only see in summer in the Pacific Northwest islands. Within the next few months all will depart for their winter homes, if they haven’t already.
Barn swallows are gathering on lines, a sure sign they’re getting ready to migrate
House wren
Savannah sparrow
American Goldfinch dad and fledglings. This was a few weeks ago; fledglings have now moved past the begging stage
Osprey
Rough winged swallow. The pairs who nest in the clay bank near this bird have all fledged their young. Haven’t seen any Roughwings for a week or so
Rufous hummer. Last of the females & youngsters left a week or so ago
Wilson’s warbler
Heermann’s gulls will stick around into October
Cedar waxwing
Yellow rumped warbler
Black headed grosbeak. Females are still calling to their youngsters, all continue to visit feeders and birdbaths
Bandtail pigeon
Purple martins are in various stage of fledging young
What’s up in your birdy world this week?
