I love these pictures and tales. Thank you so much for sharing Steven from PV. I will have to do some sleuthing to learn their sounds. Imagining you calling them and their response is delightful.

Hi Steven and other fellow Birders -
I’m very envious, but happy to hear of Steven’s rare visitors! And thanks to everyone else who posted their sightings too - great to learn!
At our feeder in the Bar-K we’ve had flocks (20-30) of Evening Grosbeaks all winter long and they’re still around.
Last week we had a number of Red Cross bills. And earlier this week, a Blue (sooty) Grouse hung out on our rock outcrop for quite a while.
Clarks Nutcrackers often show up to decimate our suet feeders.
There were three bald eagles up at Rock Lake in the snow storm yesterday. The lake is completely open, but they were feeding on a large dead carp on the shoreline.
I thought I spotted a couple Mountain Bluebirds up here before the snow came this week. And one turkey vulture flying overhead. Signs of spring!
And of course, the usual contingent of chickadees, White-breasted and Pigmy Nuthatches, Juncos, Stellar Jays, etc.
I’ve been an amateur birder forever. I don’t have a good camera (just my old iPhone) or I would try to post some photos of my sightings.
I have the Sibley bird app on my phone, which is pretty fun to have handy. This app is a little pricey, but I find it’s worth it.

Today at 3:15 pm, the first-of-season male Broad-tailed Hummingbird came to feeder at the cabin.
Early this morning a yearling calf came to a spring fed watering hole in the forest 70 yards from the house. I'll call her Big Bird.
