[Birdnet] Yard Birds

[George]

Hi Birders,

My husband has been yelling at me all morning each time a new bird shows up
in the yard (of course, I'm trying to get the washing done!).  In the last 2
days we have been overwhelmed by birds; new yard birds, old-timers, a
nesting pair of Downy woodpeckers carrying on their courtship in front of us
and today-Lazuli bunting, a Warbling vireo, an Orange-crowned warbler,3 male
Bullock's orioles and a Ruby-crowned kinglet.  In the last two days I have
totaled 22 species in my back yard.  Admittedly, I have the only house in
the neighborhood with trees and feeders and water, but this is unbelievable!
What is going on?  The last time I saw a Green-tailed towhee in my yard was
ten years ago.  Only thing missing, so far (the day is young), are
hummingbirds.

Good birding,

Sue Hinde
