It seems that this rainy weather has pushed many birds through lowland areas rather than the hills - Coyote Point in San Mateo County has had an outstanding spring! The scene at CCFS was dominated by WILSON'S WARBLERS (19) and SWAINSON'S THRUSHES (11), but I managed to also find 1 singing PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, 4 WARBLING VIREOS, a male BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD (both sides of L TRAN south of the trailer), and a LAZULI BUNTING. Swallows were foraging low and among the expected 5 species were 2 VAUX'S and 2 WHITE-THROATED SWIFTS. Two WESTERN KINGBIRDS were below the dike on the drive out, just south of the sewage ponds. According to the banding board, highlights from yesterday's banding work included a lingering HERMIT THRUSH, a NASHVILLE WARBLER, a TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, and 2 GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS. The real highlight for me today was found before even getting to CCFS. A quick check of the Arzino Ranch just after 6:30am turned up at least two YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDS on the fence and in the mustard along the new northern extension to Disk Drive. One singing bird was certainly an immature male and the other appeared to be as well. Mike Rogers _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
