While walking around Capitol Lake this morning I spotted and was able to observe a Hermit Thrush foraging in the grass near the lake-- the first I have seen in W. WA in ages. ?(When I lived in CA they were a common winter bird.) ?
Also, after 2 months of occupation (and high birdseed bills) it appears my pine siskin "superflock" has begun to disperse. ?Now I'm seeing occasional pairs visit the feeder. ?I wonder if they're gearing up for nesting?
