A report from Ken Caryl Valley, JeffCo

[David Suddjian]

Migration has seemed slow at Ken Caryl these last 7-10 days, but things are trickling through. Still, some good birds were here yesterday and today: yesterday a male Summer Tanager, and today a Northern Parula, Northern Waterthrush and Eastern Phoebe, but few other migrants. I was happy to see Western Tanager returned today, with a male seeking suet in my yard. Evening Grosbeaks continue to occur at Ken Caryl Valley nearly daily, many flying north or northwest. This has been a strong showing here for EVGR from April into May. Broad-tailed Hummers have been around for a few weeks now, but so far they seem pretty darn sparse. Many days they are not detected at my home feeders at all.
