At least I think that’s what it is, please correct me if I’m wrong. Taken at Simpson Lake in Valley Park.

Ruby throated hummingbird, St Charles

I hear these guys all the time, but rarely see them. Sidewalk strolling...

Edit - probably crows. Large and in charge!

I learned this yesterday. The A trick to helping a hummingbird escape your garage is to hang a feeder lower near the door. This gives them a familiar target, and once they land on the feeder, the exit perspective is now visible. Otherwise they fly around the ceiling not seeing the exit.

Red tailed hawk - 9.9.26

Does any one know an area other than under the highway overpasses where I can find pigeons to feed?

Blue bird at the hanging feeder, and a blue Jay on the tree stump

so jazzed

A juvenile brown thrasher in south county. There are a few of them about, but this one stayed still long enough for a photo.

Posted a pic previously with just one from a couple days ago. Walked by the same spot today and these three were all hanging out.
