The count I had a Refugio on Monday was I think 3x what I had ever had before. My theory is that the large fires that have been occurring in No Cal and OR are creating a lot of habitat for them. It may not be a coincidence that we have had record numbers of Lawrence's Goldfinches and Lazuil Buntings this spring since both love to breed in recently burned areas.
