Ken Caryl Valley note 9/1

[David Suddjian]

This morning I was surprised to see a Wilson's Phalarope flying a few laps around my home area, passing over rather low at times. And an active flock of about 25 Mountain Bluebirds was accompanied by at least 14 Yellow-rumped Warblers, both first of season migrants for my local area. That was a lot of Yellow-rumps for my area on this date, too, but they were in close association with the bluebirds (as they like to be) and maybe they all just came down from the mountains together.  

Hummers are still pretty active at my feeders, nearly all female/imm lately. Broad-tailed predominate, then Rufous, and I see 1-2 Calliope daily still.
