[SBB] Windy Hill scouting



I did some scouting this morning at Windy Hill for my SCVAS trip tomorrow.
A couple WESTERN BLUEBIRDS were in the trees by the parking lot.  A first
for the year there.  At least 7 HOODED MERGANSERS remain at the pond.  The
pond was still high and muddy so I guess it was no surprise that no Green
Herons were evident.  Foraging would be tough.  ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS are
back in force, seemed to be one singing every 50 feet or so.  YELLOW-RUMPED
WARBLERS continue in abundance as well, still very much in grunge-wear.  I
also had a pair of TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS and nearby a WARBLING VIREO (another
first for the year).  The first few VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS were buzzing
around as well.  A NUTTALL'S WOODPECKER clearly doing some excavating was
nice to see.

 

All in all, a nice mix of lingering wintering species and newly arrived
summer species.

 

Best Regards,
