All about the birds

A constant parade of birds visits our limestone boulder water feature these hot days. The shallow water and soft flow of recirculating water beckons birds.

Hummingbirds, Eastern Bluebird, Bewick’s Wren, roadrunner, Black-crested Titmouse, Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Summer Tanager, cardinal, Painted Bunting, Brown-headed Cowbird, Northern Mockingbird, Ash-throated Flycatcher, White-winged Dove, Inca Cove, Mourning Dove.

Many of our bathing beauties hatched this season. Some gape for food from parents, wings spread backwards.
