Lincoln's Sparrow in My Yard
Today I had a new visitor to my yard. This year I have been very consistent in keeping my feeders full which sometimes is a challenge as we are so often busy with our hectic lives. I have two small tube feeders for niger seed, one tube for sunflower seed, 2 suet baskets, one hummingbird feeder, and one general feeder for wild bird mix. It is under this last that I usually have the most action and today I was surprised to find a Lincoln's Sparrow sparing with the Golden and White-crowneds that are always present. This guy brings my yard list up to 60 species since we moved here in 1998. I don't know if another 40 are possible but it will be fun to find out! Tomorrow Pat and I are going to go over to Colusa to see if we can see the Falcated Duck that has been found. Many birders have come for it and it has been seen 9 out of the 10 days since it was found so I think our chances are good.
