#birding today: three species visited my seed feeder! I am unreasonably delighted by having seen them. (Dark eyed junco, oak titmouse, and probably a white capped sparrow but maaayyybe a nuthatch, only glimpsed the head.)
I am super pleased not to be alone in loving this kind of nerdery.
New photos on my website! Like this killdeer.

At left is a hummingbird feeder, clear glass tube atop a red glass bowl with yellow flower feeder ports. At right is a female Anna's hummingbird, photographed in midair; her body is iridescent green and blue with darker tailfeathers. Her narrow orange bill is pointing to the left of the image. She appears to be hanging in midair, as she approaches the feeder.
I am pretty new to Twitch, so I just discovered that people are livestreaming nature cams. I am following DashDucks, WildLifeCam, CaliforniaBirbs, and MarineMammalRescue. Who should I add?
