Hummers and more

Starting to get good numbers of Black-chinned Hummingbirds in.  I now have 6 feeder up and that number will grow to 8-10 in the next couple of weeks.

Just completed another nest box census - roughly 50% activity with one Black-crested Titmouse already laying 6 eggs.

Martins are just flying around.  Heard my first White-eyed Vireo and Barn Swallows on the ranch yesterday.

Ranch grounds are starting to turn yellow with the emergence of the early blooming Bladderpods.

At the Oasis yesterday there were 3 Yellow-rumped Warblers and a Lincoln Sparrow - all migrants.

Last night after going up to close down the barn, I heard and then found a Great-horned Owl calling from the dead Oak.

At today's Riverside Fauna Census we heard and then saw a Green Kingfisher.  They will be nesting along the dirt banks of Town Creek.
