[SBB] Ash-throated Flycatcher



I found my first of the season Ash-throated Flycatcher in Guadalupe Oak Grove Park today. Also seen were a first year male and 2 adult male Bullocks Orioles. Only one Ruby-crowned Kinglet was heard and Yellow-rumped Warblers were found in lesser numbers than previous weeks. Violet green and N. Rough winged Swallows were numerous today. A pair of Red tailed Hawks and a male Kestrel also active. An Orange-crowned Warbler was seen in the tree tops over the parking lot. One Huttons Vireo was calling from the wooded area behind the bathrooms and found perched in the understory of an oak tree. Oak woodland species seen included Oak Titmouse, C.B.Chickadee, Bushtits, Bewicks Wren, White-breasted Nuthatch, Dark-eyed Juncos along with some Golden-crowned Sparrows.

While checking our nest boxes on the Los Alamitos Creek trail with Lee this morning I heard five Wilson's Warblers. We have White-breasted Nuthatch, Oak Titmouse, W. Bluebird, Bewicks Wren, C.B. Chickadee and a possible House Wren nesting on that trail. As of today our two trails have a total of 85 eggs, 57 of them have hatched. Only one of five Bluebird pair is currently brooding. Violet green Swallows and Ash throated Flycatchers are the last to nest.
