[SBB] NAWA and HEWA at Smith Creek

[Mike Rogers <[[email protected]]>]

All,

This morning 4/27/06, Richard Jeffers and I spent a couple hours at the 
Smith Creek Fire Station looking for migrants. It was windy and a bit 
cool, but there was some variety up there, although not in large 
numbers.  Most interesting were 3 male HERMIT WARBLERS and a NASHVILLE 
WARBLER on the slope behind the fire station. Other warblers were also 
represented, with several ORANGE-CROWNED, 8 YELLOW-RUMPED, 2 
BLACK-THROATED GRAY, 5+ TOWNSEND'S, and 7 WILSON'S.  There were also 
good numbers of WESTERN TANAGERS (10), LAZULI BUNTINGS (5), CASSIN'S 
VIREOS (4), and WARBLING VIREOS (2). No empidonax flycatchers of any 
kind though. Winter birds continue to linger, with 25+ GOLDEN-CROWNED 
SPARROWS, 1 WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, 1 LINCOLN'S SPARROW, and 4+ 
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS.

A quick check of Grant Lake on the way back to work turned up 1 WESTERN 
GREBE, 1 BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON, a pair of RING-NECKED DUCKS, and 7 
BUFFLEHEAD.
