Hello All,
Just a note to let you know that the Walla Walla valley is crawling with
Lazuli Buntings with 98% being males. We had over 40 buntings in our garden
today. We are getting phone calls from folks all over town wanting to know
what the spectacular little blue birds are. Great education opportunity. We
also had a flock of 50 Bank Swallows sweeping back and forth over the house
just before dark and attempting to land in several large wind tossed maples
to roost. We have never seen this number of buntings in this area or have we
ever had Bank Swallows attempt to roost over our house.
Later Mike
