Four species were 2's, and are typical summer residents that arrive in April: OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER on 12 Apr, WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE on 26 Apr (late), ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER on 10 Apr, and YELLOW WARBLER on 9 Apr. At the 4 level, rarities included VAUX'S SWIFT at the Stanford dish on 14 Apr, a very early WILLOW FLYCATCHER at Smiths Creek on 30 Apr, and a NASHVILLE WARBLER and MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER on 12 Apr, also at Smiths Creek. All of these are migrants except Vaux's Swift, which includes a small breeding population. Rarer species, the 5's, included a SOLITARY SANDPIPER along Arroyo Bayo on 27 Apr, a male CALLIOPE HUMMINGBIRD at Ed Levin CP on a Big Day on 19 Apr, the first HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER of the year at Smiths Creek on 13 Apr, a CASSIN'S KINGBIRD at the Stanford dish on 11 Apr, and a few YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS along Llagas Creek on 28 Apr. Except for the chats, these are all migrants (Cassin's Kingbird may only breed in occasional years). I cleaned up Horned Lark, replacing the 28 Feb date with a 9 Feb date. There are two 2's left: Red-necked and Wilson's Phalarope, and one 3: Swainson's Thrush (two have already been found in May, but that's for next month). This leaves 16 or so 4's to be found before year's end and the rest are the real rarities. Late May and June generally provides a few eastern vagrants--which will it be this year?
