We had fly-overs of Double-crested Cormorants, Mallards, Canada Geese, Band-tailed Pigeons, Cooper's Hawk, and a Red-shouldered Hawk (which was uncharacteristically silent.) We also had perched Kestrels, Orioles (some had both Hooded and Bullock's males), Violet-green and Rough-winged Swallows, Cedar Waxwings, Western Tanagers, a brief Thrasher sing-and-flyaway, and the usual flycatchers; Olive-sided, Ash-throated, Pacific-slope, and Western Wood-Pewees were seen and heard all morning long. We also had close views of Western Bluebirds, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, wine-colored Purple Finches, Grosbeaks, Lesser Goldfinches, both Towhees, Juncos, Cowbirds, and a Brown Creeper. The woodpeckers were represented by Acorn, Nuttall's, Downy, Hairy, and Northern Flicker. The Hutton's and Warbling Vireos were much easier to hear than see, as were the White-breasted Nuthatches and Bewick's Wrens. The warblers were represented by Wilson's, Orange-crowned, and Yellow (which was not confirmed until it was heard and seen again on the way back to the parking lot.) Also, the seen (and possibly heard) Thrush was not fully agreed-to by me as Swainson's until I realized that I've not ever had Hermit locally in May. Counting all the other usual suspects, my personal species list came to 58. Frank Vanslager _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
