Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary

Went to Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary today. Had the most amazing educational discussion with Uyen Tran, curator and graduate student of CSUF in animal behavior sciences. She was absolutely informative about our area birds. We had a discussion about many bird types. I learned why most likely we are not able to attract red-winged black birds to our yard. They prefer areas closer to the water, she said. Hence, now that I think about it, I always see them in Y.L. yards and businesses situated closer to our local Santa Ana River. Also, the Anna's and Costas hummingbirds are the only two hummingbirds that have a song. Anna's hummingbirds are local to Yorba Linda, Costas are not.  Do you have an Anna's hummingbird singing in your yard? Hear their songs. Click here > Anna's Song 

Thank you Uyen, for a most enjoyable visit.
