Next time I'll say hello and I'll try not to make a pest out of myself. :D<br /><br />I birded out of my van today for the most part along NW Beach and Black Willow parking lots.<br />I was rewarded with a Scarlet Tanager posing and preening in the rain only a few feet away. An American man pulled up and used my van for a hide to take photos ... lol.<br />I also saw 11 different varieties of warbler including an ovenbird; Cedar waxwing ... my 1st of the year; Indigo buntings ... just a few feet away from the Tanager; Flycatcher ... I couldn't tell you which kind; Eastern Kingbird with his red stripe showing because of his wet head; Orioles of both varieties; E.Towhee; Philadelphia Vireo; White-crowned sparrows ... a ton of them and other assorted LBJs; R.T. Hummingbird.<br />Not too bad for a beginner, I'd say.<br />I kept missing birds this past week due to either just coming, going, bathroom, or getting a coat to warm up. Oh well. Leaves me with something to look forward to next time.<br />All in all, I spotted 29 warbler species this past week for which I'm very content. :)<br /><br />Good Birding!Brightceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315996303259692721noreply@blogger.com
