Every year, there is at least one common bird that I just don't see weirdly late into the new year. This year, the "where is it?" award goes to a bird with a brilliantly simple name. Also new today is a bird who is overdue for a simpler, less white-dude-infused name, like so many others. Spring is coming.

A quick walk to get the mail gave me my first encounter of the year with our neighborhood dinosaur pack. Turkeys aren't native here, but they are pretty common, and for all their nuisances, I like having them around. Also my favorite little western wren, who deserves its new decolonized name yesterday.

Two new additions from the coast range today, including one I assumed I had already listed. Side note prompted by goldfinches: I hate bird common names with "lesser" almost as much as "least". Back in my biologist days I used to work with so-called Least Auklets, which aren't the least anything. They're the best. Not as important as changing the ones named after colonist dudes, but still.
