Bushtits with coffee this morning :)

A pink-flowering cherry tree (maybe plum? one of those) in full bloom under gray skies and drizzly rain. This tree was packed with a foraging #OrangeCrownedWarbler flock pecking carefully at the centers of the blossoms, as well as a #Bushtit and two zippy first-of-year #RufousHummingbirds darting about.

Drippy day today. Hung out on the covered footbridge for a pleasant interlude and watched dozens of #VioletGreenSwallow aerobatically zooming the creek corridor. Close by was a nearly complete #Bushtit nest under construction amid brown clematis vines. Bushtit nests are kind of cryptic but stand out once you get the right search image for a bulbous gray sock shape dangling from low branches - always fun to find them! Will try to keep tabs on progress of this one.

A dozen Bushtits glommed onto the suet feeder, with more waiting in the maple branches & holding a continual casual conversation of intermittent twitterings and chips. Then their idle dialog snaps into unanimous shrill high gear and all fly up. The alarm gets my hominid notice too; I hear this massed call when an accipiter flies past. Today, only a scrub-jay coming in. Less dangerous, sure... but still omnivorous, not picky, and outweighing an unwary #Bushtit 15 to 1. Careful!

A bevy of #bushtit

Is this #bushtit content, @jennitaur ?

One Bushtit of many this morning working a blooming Eucalyptus tree in the local Arboretum

Because these moments are for the birds... How grateful I am to be among them. My heart filled to bursting. #LekwungenTerritory #Bushtit #birds #birding #pnw #wander #wonder

saw a signature blobby #bushtit nest (leftover from earlier this year??) on the way to get groceries. I love how they dangle from the branches 🥺

Bright crisply delineated fall day yesterday. While I raked leaves a Bushtit flock streamed from maple to birch, passing me on left and right. Teeny gray-brown birds a bare few grams in mass, flitting one at a time across the canopy gap with long tails trailing as they maintain a conversation of light chips and twitters. Back in society for winter after pairing up in summer! Bushtits are easy to count one by one as a flock moves along its foraging route - 23 in this group.

@mikemelton If you'll pardon me, I'll try the one way to get to results that I know:
#bushtit (creating a hashtag allows me to find stuff which is... not ideal but apparently they're more important here)

FYI: the admin of an instance can add search functionalities but may choose not to do so. Not sure if we can, it looked complicated. (I understand basic Git. Like: babyspeak basic) Need to study more.
