They come in waves.
A couple hours before sunset, if I throw a cup of my parrot's food out . . . around,
in a few minutes the sparrows show up. Skittish watchful . . . on a mission, they swoop in low around the bottom of the trellis.
As an elite strike force, they eyeball the place dancing through openings, then move in on the food.
Wave by wave follow the ritual. Seemingly, brought forward.
I have no idea their communication.

Like!
Birds make my heart happy. We have the usual suspects hanging out at the feeder as well as hummingbirds. Our favorite right now is a wild hen turkey
who was interested enough to check out my feeble attempt to communicate with a turkey call one weekend. She has been here for five months now. She
sleeps in the tree top across the driveway, flies down in the morning when we open the slider.
I was eyeballing the canaries at the swap meet this morning. When I live full time in baja one day, I'll have lots of birds.

Mine too, Paulina. I loved the "birds we see" thread. I'd like to see more Baja bird posts with photos.
Regarding wild turkeys, here's the one that looked in the window at our friends' cabin.

You'll like these, Paulina.
Some honkers feeding in our field this morning.
It always impresses me how the Canadian geese are SO disciplined..

Pomp,
Your Canadian geese are very disciplined, where as my Snow geese turned out to be quite the wedding crashers last May.
Gueribo,
That turkey in the window pic is something we see here too.
She's also handy when changing out the oil on the big truck...
Speaking of turkeys, here's the four legged one for Jeff...

Hmmm... I see two turkeys in this picture.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

We lived with a pair of lovebirds for a while at the Coyote Bay casa. Named Ron y Cola. We built a cozy nesting box
inside their cage in hopes of some eggs. They chirped merrily away for a long time with nothing happening, but when we had to fly back to the US on
an emergency, we put them in the care of mi amigo, Manuel, in his Mulege grocery store.
When we returned much later, he advised us that there had been no eggs, no hatchings, no nada. He rolled his eyes and said, "Quebrachos."
Oh well, just had to change the housetag to Ron y Ron.

It's the opposite of me looking into the glass on the oven door on Thanksgiving day.  Is it done yet?
