The nutmeg mannikin, also known as the spice finch, spotted munia or scaly-breasted munia, makes an appearance at Mt. Hoo
It’s always fun when a new face shows up at Mt. Hoo. Sometimes it’s just the return of a seasonal visitor, like the arrival last week of the first white-crowned sparrow for the winter. Or it might be that rare fly-by of a zone-tailed hawk or bald eagle. This time it was a totally new visitor, mingling with some old friends pecking away at the variety of seeds in a hanging basket just outside my office window.
According to Phil Unitt, curator of birds and mammals at the San Diego Natural History Museum, sightings in San Diego County were only sporadic in 2000, and mostly in the Tijuana River Valley. Today, a quick look at ebird.org shows the scaly-breasted munia has adapted well to our balmy climate, becoming a common year-round species with thousands of recorded sightings from coastal areas to inland oak woodlands and grasslands.
