Hi COBirders,
Today at Clear Spring Ranch it was wet early, then windy midmorning, but I still banded a good arrival of birds, all before 8:30. 25 birds of 17 species.
Including:
FOY Hammond’s Flycatcher
W Wood Pewee
Alder Flycatcher
Willow Flycatcher
Gray Catbird
2 Yellow-breasted Chats
2 MacGillivray's Warbler, Ad M, SY M
3 Lincoln’s Sparrows
Mountain White-crowned Sparrow
Com Yellowthroat, SY M
4 Yellow Warblers
Bullock’s Oriole, Ad M
Orchard Oriole, SY M
Black-headed Grosbeak SY M
A couple of days ago I had only had a single Dusky Flycatcher for the family, but they are finally showing up in numbers. Not surprisingly, it probably coincides with the greening of the area in the last few days. There were hardly any green willows, few bugs, and fewer warblers and flycatchers. (first mosquito yesterday!) Things seem to be much more springlike this week, now that it is almost June!
Happy Migration,
