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,
Kirsten R. Holmquist
