This morning while outside birding, I heard crows mobbing something. Crows came
in by the 20s and 30s. I headed up to the woods to see what they ere mobbing,
it ended up being 2 adult and 1 immature Red-shouldered Hawks. They took off
one at a time as I came closer. Once they were gone, almost all the crows took
off after them. Thinking that everything was gone, I got right up to the tree,
and 2 Great Horned Owls flew out!
Lately, I've been having a female hummer "own" our feeder. It has extensive
buff on its sides. I was thinking it almost looked like a female rufous, but
after watching it through the scope and having it perch on my hand for a
"six-inch-away" view, I've concluded that it must just be a female
Ruby-throated with lots of rufous color on its sides.
Warbler and Vireo numbers have dropped big time, the only things I had today
was 1 Tennessee, 1 American Redstart, and one Red-eyed Vireo.
