[Birdtalk] Garr Ranch

[Roostertael at aol.com]

Hi,
 
There have been a couple of reports of Townsend's Warblers, so I spent the  
morning at Garr Ranch with the hopes of getting a photo. Not to be. However,  
There were some good birds. Pretty much in the order seen: Warbling Vireo,  
AMERICAN REDSTART (female), MacGillivray's Warbler, Wilson's Warbler, Lark  
Sparrow, Nashville Warbler, Lazuli Bunting (male and female), Ruby-crowned  
Kinglet, Western Tanager (male and female), Cordilleran Flycatcher, Western Wood  
Peewee and other flycatchers I could not identify, Plumbeous Vireo, and  last but 
not least a WHITE-WINGED DOVE. It did not fly in while I was  sitting there, 
so it must have been in the tree for a couple of hours before the  sun hit it 
and I saw some movement. This is the farthest north I have seen one.  

The bird movement slowed down at 11:00 and I left at 11:30. On the road  back 
I saw several Sage Thrashers and a couple of Rock Wrens. 
 
On the causeway I saw one Greater Yellowlegs and some phalaropes that I  will 
have to study the photos of. I scanned through some Black-bellied Plovers,  
but could not pick out any American Goldens. There was a bunch of Semipalmated  
Plovers at the first bunch of rocks in the water on the south side near the  
entrance.
