Here's my backyard bird list for yesterday, Jan. 2:
- Red-tailed hawk
- Northern mockingbird
- Yellow-rumped warbler
- Orange-crowned warbler
- Nuttall's woodpecker
- Bewick's wren
- Bushtit
- Western bluebird
- Anna's hummingbird
- Western scrub-jay
- California towhee
- White-crowned sparrow
- House finch
- House sparrow
Here is a photo of an orange-crowned warbler that flew right up to me, but had a very hard time sitting still for a photo! Orange-crowned warblers are found in my area all year-round, but in other areas, they migrate. I've seen them sticking their heads into flowers, so I presume that they eat nectar. This warbler is in its favorite bush, one with long bright red flowers that it can fit most of its head into.
