Currently have 4 or 5 Selasphorus Hummingbirds frequenting feeders.
Today I was able to confirm (what appear to be) 2 adult male Rufous (99% rufous back and head) because they were present at the same time at one feeder.
The Western Screech-Owl has been vocalizing from the oak tree in the front yard...what a treat! Haven't heard a response.
Titmice and Bluebirds are investigating and defending nest boxes, although I haven't come across any nests yet. I have discovered a few "roosting beds"...bits of lichen or grass.
With all the rain and wind lately - all of the (approximately) 40 boxes I've checked have been used for roosting (sleeping).
