The advantage of keeping a close watch for the return of the Mystery Bird is seeing lots of other visitors -- such as this female Baltimore Oriole.
By the way, the Mystery Bird did make a brief appearance. Current best guess is Bell's Vireo.

Mystery Bird.
So... yesterday, I was looking out the window and saw a tiny bird bouncing around in the lower branches of the pine tree. I had no idea what it was, but I was able to take a couple of OK photos.
Could it be a female Ruby-crowned Kinglet?

I've had a couple of male hummingbirds around for 3 weeks, but today was the first time that I for sure saw a female. And, while the female was on the feeder, another hummingbird was doing zoomies above the tree -- back and forth and up and down. Apparently, romance is in the air.

Northern Flicker Update. A few days ago, I noticed that a chunk of the βroofβ of the nesting cavity had collapsed, leaving a 2 by 3 inch hole (5 by 7.5 cm). That stump, especially the top, is very punky.
With rain coming, I decided to help a little bit by covering the hole in the roof. Now, after 2 nights of heavy rain, it seems the birdsβ are still happy in their nest.

Indigo Bunting! It's been probably 25 years since I've seen an Indigo Bunting in the yard. I was glad to get this quick photo through the window.
