We spent several hours at Carlos Avery today and saw quite a few birds. The new migrants (for us) we saw today:
Chestnut-sided -- it was a Chestnut-sided day, saw quite a few Black and White Red-eyed Vireo -- several Blue-gray Gnatcatcher Palm Warbler -- a small wave of 10+ In addition, there were hard to id small flycatchers zipping around, one Eastern Kingbird with almost all of the white band on his tail worn away, green heron, trumpeter swans -- several, tree and barn swallows, pheasant, red-breasted nuthatch, and a single crane. What we found most interesting, we did not see a single hawk or eagle today, not even a red tail sitting on the light poles along the highway on the way out and back!
