A bright yellow bird with black markings perched on a coneflower and raiding seeds.

Twice in recent weeks a goldfinch has turned up outside my window, and both times I have gasped audibly. The first time I was too stunned to get a picture. Today I got lucky. He was digging seeds from my echinacea.
Grow flowers, y’all! 🌱 #FlowerReport (is there a #BirdReport?)

#birdreport this was a quick pups pee break walk

I’m a terrible photographer, but I’m pretty sure I saw an American kestrel while walking the dog this morning. I took video in the hopes of recording its call, but it shut up as soon as I pulled out my phone. It was kind of a funny-sounding high squeak. #BirdReport

A mourning dove, a lesser goldfinch, and a black-chinned hummingbird are all hanging out in the same tree making noise. #BirdReport

An American robin and a curve-billed thrasher are hopping around together!!!! #BirdReport

Two hummingbirds are loudly flying their sex dances in the backyard!!! May seems early for that! #BirdReport

A roadrunner just ate a lizard in my backyard!!! #BirdReport

Unlike many, I am a great fan of night-calling #mockingbirds. Southern California's lovelorn bachelor birdies had the most interesting repertoire, including car alarms, video games, and the shhsshssh-ratatatata of Rainbird irrigation heads. Vegas Valley mockers are much more parochial. #BirdReport

Black-chinned Hummingbird Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology A small green-backed hummingbird of the West, with no brilliant colors on its throat except a thin strip of iridescent purple bordering the black chin, only visible when light hits it just right. Blac...

First hummer of the season showed up today (male Black-chinned) demanding the goods. Told me off at length for only having nasturium flowers on offer. Sorry guy -- it was a cold, late spring in the Vegas Valley, & there is only so fast I can make the flowers grow. #BirdReport #hummingbirds

Western Tanager Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology A clear look at a male Western Tanager is like looking at a flame: an orange-red head, brilliant yellow body, and coal-black wings, back and tail. Females and immatures are a somewhat dimmer yellow-gr...

Heard, and then saw a Western Tanager this morming... so, no matter how far off the rails this day falls, at least there is that.

I finally replaced my hummingbird feeder with a new model that I think will be easier to refill and clean. From the looks of this video, I need to adjust the perch to be more comfortable for little hummingbird feet. #BirdReport

The birds are getting nothing from me this weekend. The birdbaths are dry, the birdfeeders are empty, and the hummingbird juice is fermenting. I’m sorry guys, I just don’t have it in me right now. #BirdReport

I hear some distant thunder, but for now, Higgins and I are enjoying some Backyard Time. #BirdReport #FlowerReport #LiveTweetTheWeather #Higgins

I needn’t have been worried about this sparrow’s ability to fly after collecting so much nesting fuzz. #BirdReport

Ooh, so is white-throated sparrow! 🐦🪶
