44 species on my daily loop, one off the record, and dipped on mourning dove! BUT I did get a Black-headed Grosbeak, Hermit Thrush, Scaly-breasted Munias, Hooded Orioles, Lawrence's Goldfinch, and a

This is the first year since I've been here (Nov 2017) that I've seen rufous/Allen's at my feeders in Paso Robles! One rufous male and at least one female for the past week. Still have a pair of

Along with the large numbers of Selasphorus (presumed Rufous) hummingbirds which have spiked over the past week at our feeders, we are now getting a few Calliope Hummingbirds. Our first one was a

I am replying to the question about Rufous Hummingbirds. I haven’t noticed any in my backyard, but today I saw a little group of Rufous Hummingbirds, while walking the Moonstone Beach boardwalk in

I've been seeing a male Allen's Hummingbird almost daily for several weeks now in my SLO yard, and about a week ago I started seeing Rufous daily too. Fun to see 'em! Tom Ogren SLO

I am wondering if others are seeing a noticeable increase of male Rufous Hummers in the past few days along the coast. Today I would estimate 8-10 males seen at any one time as they circled my

Birded the Oceano lake on the south side of Pier Ave., then checked out Norswing & Coolidge street-side trees and vegetation. Norswing & Coolidge Birds seen: Common Yellowthroat Song

So looking up today paid off. I saw a single Vaux's Swift mixed it with some high flying Tree Swallows. I saw a female Hooded Oriole scouting out a palm tree, hopefully for a nesting site, with a male

I did my usual walk yesterday and got a record 45 species. Got both Bullock's and Hooded Oriole. Every day there seems to be a new bird added to the list. Today I had 42 species but had a Blue-gray
