Another fallout day!

So many birds coming to the oasis for water and food. I checked and there are still persimmons and Chinese Pistache berries on the trees, besides my feeders and insects. That's the only good side of the drought, but I'd rather have no birds than drought. Here's a Hermit Warbler. It took a bath in a puddle under a tree as I was watering the trees.

We've managed to tally 50 species per day yesterday and today, and I've no doubt we missed a bunch. I expect the bounty will continue until the area gets rain... or migration ends. A Rufous Hummingbird took advantage of my tree watering too.

This MacGillivray's Warbler opted for the water feature.
