All,
According to a post by Bob Yutzy to the shasta_birders listserv, Ken
Able reported lots of migrants heading north towards Redding last night,
detected by Marysville weather radar. Given that a push of new birds
with the improving weather seemed quite possible, I decided to check
CCFS on the way into work this morning 5/2/05. In about 1.5 hours,
mostly near the trailers and nearby portions of Coyote Creek, I found:
1 immature male SELASPHORUS HUMMINGBIRD (likely ALLEN'S)
1 "WESTERN" FLYCATCHER
5 SWAINSON'S THRUSHES (first SWTH banded on 4/24, 9 banded on 5/1)
several flocks of up to 26 CEDAR WAXWINGS
10 WILSON'S WARBLERS
2 WESTERN TANAGERS
3 BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS
2 LAZULI BUNTINGS
6 BULLOCK'S ORIOLES
and, best of all, a male BLUE GROSBEAK, which flew from where the trail
enters the riparian corridor back to the east end of the K Tran net lane
south of the trailer.
A RED-SHOULDERED HAWK nest is in the cottonwood along the creek about
100 yards south of net lane 9385.
Notable banding records in 2005 include:
1 HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER on 5/1/05
1 NASHVILLE WARBLER on 4/30/05
1 YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT on 4/24/05
