Golden Crowned Sparrow still here this morning. #BirdRestStop #Birds

my first Golden Crowned Sparrow of this season. #Birds #BirdRestStop some will over winter here but this bird being early will likely continue on south of me. The bird is at the Wild behind. It looks like it’s eating something off the moss. It’s a very short video.

“stay out of the habitat-yard it can wait.” I have to keep telling myself. 😑I walked out and scared this thrush.

this looks like another Swainson’s Thrush large eye-ring, the bird is a little bigger than hermit thrush and I think the slightly longer tail turns up more. #Birds #BirdRestStop

pretty sure this smaller Thrush is hermit thrush who spends a few weeks here before moving on as opposed to Swainson’s Thrushes who just overnight in Autumn. It’s confusing when there’s two different thrushes in the yard. I’m not complaining. #BirdRestStop #Birds

this one looks more mature about 15 minutes later. This bird is trying to bathe at the wildlife pond. #Birds

another of the Goldfinches that arrived over night. #Birds

Do you have habitat for birds?
you too can create a #BirdRestStop for migrating birds they are attracted to the sound of running water-got a fountain?

today was full of migrants. I wonder if they all arrive together… “hey everyone , I know this really great place .” White crowned sparrows will over-winter here but because this one is very early it probably is continuing on to Southern California. #Birds #BirdRestStop

so this thrush has such a big eye ring. This was early this morning. I don’t know if this is hermit thrush or Swainson Thrush. The big eyering says Swainson’s. Today is a big migration day for my yard. #Birds #BirdRestStop

Good Morning, I have not been checking the cameras. Hope I can do that more today, another Thrush found my #BirdRestStop

so far this is the only capture

I’m so fortunate I can have a #BirdRestStop for our migrants. Western Tanager stopped for a bath around 10 a.m. today. They will probably stay for the day, refuel, and leave tonight. #Birds

Swainson’s Thrush this morning. This could be a different one could be the same one. They usually stay three days at the most. #BirdRestStop

I found a nice video of the Wilson’s Warbler today, about two hours after the first spotting, he visited the caged bath. 🪶

Lincoln’s Sparrow got on camera again today #Migration Will you make your yard, patio, deck, balcony a small #birdreststop? provide shallow clean water, provide a dark resting place like a dense native shrub to your area. Thank you. 🪶

good morning! this bird has been hanging out at this birdbath since 6 AM. It probably arrived overnight. I think it’s a Lincoln sparrow.🪶#BirdRestStop

Beautiful yellow rumped warbler. #Migration #BirdRestStop 🪶
April 13, 2026 at 10:03 PM
I’m pretty sure the Yellow Rumped Warblers that over-wintered here, have left now, but more beauties still arrive.
#BirdRestStop #Birds
this bird is at a concrete ground level birdbath that’s in my backyard. That is my dog play space , but they were inside.

Hermit Thrush today at mini-pond #Birds #BirdRestStop

Fox Sparrow is here! #BirdRestStop

I believe a mixed flock of warblers just arrived today this warbler on the right looks like an immature or a female Hermit Warbler, see the yellow face? #BirdRestStop

I’m really excited to see Fox Sparrow. please forgive me for posting her twice today.
#Birds
This is not the same Fox sparrow that was here a few days ago. I think they’re just moving through my yard on migration because her chest has a different pattern on it.

One of about six Golden Crowned sparrows that are visiting the yard right now. I think these will also be on their way soon and then the ones that arrive late will over winter in my yard. #Birds

This bird looks like it’s forging for food among the plants and logs of the wildlife pond
