This is just an update to keep people current on how the spring bird migration is progressing. This past week we had our first Black-chinned Hummingbird into our Best 1 hummingbird feeder. He was quickly followed by several other Black-chinned, and the aerial contest was on. As usual they dove at each other and hovered above each other buzzing angrily. They created quite a show for us.
Meanwhile, a Magnificent Hummingbird was quietly sipping nectar from our saucer hummingbird feeder. The Black-chinned Hummingbirds chose not to challenge him. I’m not sure why as they have done so in the past.
The Lawrence’s Goldfinch continues to come in to the thistle bird feeder. He comes in with a flock of Lesser Goldfinches, so be sure to check the entire flock out.
We still have only the Scott’s Oriole coming into the jelly at the oriole feeder. The rest of the orioles should be arriving soon.
Hope everyone’s bird migration is great this year. Ours is off to a good start.
