1st fall migrant

Two Selasphorus hummingbirds appeared at the bouganvillea this afternoon. The call notes sounded shorter and more clipped than the usual Allen's in the neighborhood (which have yet to visit the "yard" - maybe the first migrant Rufous??

Yard list currently stands at 5:

Mourning Dove
Rufous-type Hummingbird
Swainson's Thrush (2 singing one day in late May, night-roosting in large ficus trees!)
House Finch
House Sparrow
