[Birdnet] Lucin: Parula, B&W warbler, and Redstar

[Tim Avery]

Colby, et, all,

I'd have to go look in eBird for the date, but there was one at the International Center, maybe 3 weeks ago? To this point empids in general seem to have been pretty scarce this spring at a number of lowland locations I have birded.

  David and others,

  What were the sex and/or age of your 'eastern' warblers?  

  David's Cordilleran Flycatcher reminds me...

  Have others outside of Washington County (well those folks too) observed Cordilleran (or 'Western' type) Flycatchers in the lowlands this spring?  I have yet to see one so I wonder if they're going straight to their breeding grounds or if I've just been unlucky in not seeing them down in the valleys?  Thanks for any information.

  Colby

    Hello,

    Larene & I went on another wild goose chase.  We dipped on the Wood thrush, but Lucin did offer up several other unusual species to assuage our tears:

    1)  Northern parula
    2)  Black & white warbler
    3)  American redstart

    We saw all of these were most often in the trees around the main pond, with some forays into the Russian olives around the marshy "secondary pond" just to the west.

    There are several species of Empids moving through (Gray, Cordilleran, Dusky), plus a plethora of wood-pewees, lots of catbirds, and a Swainson's thrush.  There was one lone but loud Eur. collared dove scratching about.  Lots of warblers to be seen above those already mentioned:  Yellow, Orange-crowned, "Audubon's", Common yellowthroats, MacGillivray's, and Wilson's.

    Happy birding,

    David
