migrants

[Gary Davidson]

Such a great time of year when there are new birds to see almost every day! In the last few days we've had:

the first Osprey in Nakusp

flocks of Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Yellow-rumped Warblers passing through

a huge wave of 200+ Savannah Sparrows, 200+ in Nakusp on Friday

4 Cassin's Finches were singing in Nakusp on Saturday

Good numbers of waterfowl, including a flock of 50+ Red-necked Grebes, an Eared Grebe, and a couple of Redheads

White-crowned Sparrows are moving through

Western Meadowlarks, a Nashville Warbler, 3 flocks of American Pipits totally about 250 birds, and a Cackling Goose, in Edgewood on Monday.

20+ Tundra Swans and a Snow Goose were photographed at the north end of Slocan Lake a couple of days ago.

Mountain Bluebirds continue to pass through

American Goldfinches are coming back into breeding plumage

The one thing I haven't seen yet in Nakusp is a hummingbird ..................... any day now!!

You are so right Gary! Since you and the Kaslo Birders were up this way, it seems like each day we have a new species for the year. Lardeau is not getting the species nor the numbers you are (yet).

Our new birds, these past few days:

Peregrines x2 at the nesting bluffs

Cassin Finch

Nashville and Orange-crowned warbler

Savannah Sparrows (3)

a singing Fox Sparrow

Yellow-legs

a singing Says Phoebe this morning

a snipe in the yard 5 minutes ago

a lone White-crowned sparrow
