My bike ride was delayed this afternoon when I noticed all the bird activity in my yard. At least six bluebirds, mostly juveniles, some hawking bugs in the air--a new bluebird behavior for me.
They were accompanied by at least seven phoebes, lots of chipping sparrows, song sparrows, savannah sparrows, a bobolink (they hayed today, so not much cover left around here), hummingbirds, goldfinches. At one point half the bluebirds, all the phoebes, the goldfinches, and a juvenile yb sapsucker were all perched together in a mostly leafless ash tree. Crazy.
