Paradise Cove

David and Mark in the restaurant at Paradise Cove

Sound recording hummingbirds at first light 0600 using the minidisk and stereo Sennheiser ME64s in vertical plane at less than 1m from hummer feeder. Mostly Allen’s, I suspect, but some wing noises might have been from Anna’s Hummingbird of which at least one is still about. There are now several Allen’s attending the feeder. We (David, Tracey,James, Mark and me) all go to Paradise Cove for breakfast at 0800. I spend the morning trying to get better shots of the hummingbirds and do some journal entries which I am now completing at about 1345!

Anna's Hummingbird

Allen's Hummingbird

It seems that the Hooded Orioles have gone. American Crow roosting flight as normal at dusk. Walked up the hill behind the house with David and Alice the dog in the late afternoon (1830-1915).

California Thrasher and House Wren are highlights today.
