OCWA is at the bottom for me.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-32683196162005597532019-05-30T22:34:44.750-07:002019-05-30T22:34:44.750-07:00Conor Scotland

Today while in the car, my wife and I ranked the 10 expected warbler species we have in coastal Southern California. My wife had BTYW as number 2 (behind hermit). I don’t blame her. My rankings are as follows: <br />1. MacGillivray’s<br />2. Hermit<br />3. Nashville<br />4. BTYW<br />5. Townsend’s<br />6. Wilson’s <br />7. Yellow<br />8. Common Yellowthroat<br />9. Orange-crowned<br />10. Yellow-rumped<br /><br />Obviously not based solely on looks, otherwise Mac would be near the bottom (super awkward looking warbler). More like, what's funnest to come across. Agree, disagree, or neutral?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816705318137066287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-39720819486579331592019-05-28T21:34:12.353-07:002019-05-28T21:34:12.353-07:00I haven't been here very long so can't rea...I haven't been here very long so can't really comment, but the Acorn Woodpeckers are very abundant and are larger than starlings, so I suspect they aren't impacted by them much compared to smaller cavity nesters.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-18803249949229463782019-05-28T21:25:51.681-07:002019-05-28T21:25:51.681-07:00Do you think seeing less Acorn Woodpeckers is due ...Do you think seeing less Acorn Woodpeckers is due to more Starlings?
