7/1/11 New Updates

The birds are in full voice this morning following last night's rain.  
Several folks have asked for scientific names and common Spanish names for the birds and I have gone back and added those to each entry.  
You may enjoy the new pictures of the Vermilion Flycatcher with his bride.  There is also a very unflattering photo of him in captivity after being caught stealing grapes in the vineyard. 
Also, there are new photos of Say's Phoebe and her new babies.
I have also changed the identification of our resident swallow.  Look for him under Barn Swallow.
One more thing, I will be adding better pictures of the Black-throated Sparrow.  The one that I have presently doesn't do his easily ID'd face justice.

Enjoy!
