Sylvia WrightGardened a bit today before the week of rain. Pruned the big Joseph's Coat climbing rose and cut back the flowering perennials inside the deer fence. For the third year, I was surprised to find that the native Hillside Gooseberry (Ribes californicum) has begun blooming. I never remember to look for it in the "dead" of winter. The hummingbirds find it, though.<a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/CAbirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CAbirds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/nativePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nativePlants</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NevadaCountyCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NevadaCountyCA</a>

Sylvia WrightHere's a female Downy Woodpecker using her stiff tail feathers for stability as she examines oak nooks and crannies for insects and spiders. She holds on with her zygodactyl feet – two toes pointing forward and two toes pointing backwards – a woodpecker characteristic that's uncommon in birds.<a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/CAbirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CAbirds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BirdPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BirdPhotography</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NaturePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturePhotography</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BirdsOfNorthAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BirdsOfNorthAmerica</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NevadaCountyCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NevadaCountyCA</a>

Sylvia WrightSeriously, I believe that I will make magnetic signs for the sides and rear of my SUV for my next bird count. "I AM COUNTING WILD BIRDS." People react suspiciously to people that stop in front of their home and stare at their yards thru binoculars. Always get at least one person who comes up to ask what I'm doing (which is fine, I'm happy to share my eco-messages). They say, "Just trying to keep out the riff-raff." <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/CAbirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CAbirds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/Birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Birding</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ChristmasBirdCount" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristmasBirdCount</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NotCasingYourNeighborhood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NotCasingYourNeighborhood</a>

Sylvia WrightRain coming, just in time for the Marysville <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/ChristmasBirdCount" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristmasBirdCount</a> on Monday. Would not be the first CBC I've done soaking wet. 🌧️ Sacramento NWS: "There is growing confidence that there will be multi-day event of rain and mountain snow sometime between Sunday and Wednesday. By Sunday night, there is a 30-50% chance the western portions of the Valley and across the Sierra will see greater than 0.25" of precipitation and 15-25% throughout the Valley and Northern Sacramento Valley." <a href="https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=STO&issuedby=STO&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=STO&issuedby=STO&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1</a>Photo: This Red-shouldered Hawk was hunting earthworms in my <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NevadaCountyCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NevadaCountyCA</a> yard in the rain.

(No surprise) But we did see a lot of Golden-crowned Kinglets, lower in the trees than usual. (We may have seen enough GCKIs and Ruby-crowned Kinglets combined to equal a half Gos in weight.) Here are terrible pix of the Kinglets – bad light, bad branches, too far. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/CAbirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CAbirds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/naturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NevadaCountyCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NevadaCountyCA</a>

Sylvia WrightFirst portrait this season of a Dark-eyed Junco. Looking very dapper this morning. It's sad to have to fence all the gardens to keep the effing deer out, but it does give the birds a lot of perch options. Which gives me more photo ops, I suppose.

Sylvia WrightThere were a lot of birds active in the neighborhood this morning, including this California Scrub Jay doing its winter-prep acorn gathering. Others included an unusual flock of 8 Yellow-rumped Warblers ("butterbutts") – they usually come in ones or twos.Later, on Lake Wildwood, I found the first-of-season winter ducks: a dozen Common Mergansers (11 females and one male).So, the winter residents are starting to arrive here in the Sierra foothills.<a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NevadaCountyCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NevadaCountyCA</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/CAbirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CAbirds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/birdphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdphotography</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NaturePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturePhotography</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/autumn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autumn</a>

Sylvia WrightThe Merlin app identifies birds making calls and songs in real time. Product of Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. It's a sweet thing for anyone who hears birds and wonders, "What is that?" Absolutely zero learning curve. Here's a sample report from my yard (screenshot). One day recently, I started recording and just let it run for 30 minutes while I gardened. If I had been paying attention, I might have had eight species. Merlin had 15, including an uncommon warbler. <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/cabirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cabirds</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/birdingapps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdingapps</a>

Maybe <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/Hilary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hilary</a> grounded them overnight? At least 5 Rufous and 10 or more Anna's. I suspended my personal rule against feeder photos bc, in the rain, they weren't visiting flowers, and I was really enjoying their interactions. And it's my birthday 🥳. The Rufous were feisty, as usual, but the Anna's were giving it back pretty well (even if it took two of them to one Rufous 😄). Here's a gallery. Enjoy!
