Hello, tweets.

I was standing at the window with camera on tripod photographing chickadees and House Finches in the back yard, and a Pacific-slope Flycatcher appeared in the hemlock tree right in front of me, sat for a few photos, and then moved on. That?s the way to jazz up the day. I looked at my records for this species, and I detect one about every other year. Who knows how many actually move through the yard?far more than I see, that?s for sure. It?s fascinating that they are almost all in the fall; they just don?t come through the yard in spring except for one June bird.
