It was a slow morning on Skinner Butte today. A number of Orange-crowns and
Black-throated Gray Warblers, one Golden-crowned Sparrow, two heard-only
WILSON'S WARBLERS, and lots of flyover swifts. There were only a couple
Yellow-rumps and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. The eagles have young.
Delta Ponds on the bike ride back had Violet-green and Tree Swallows, very
low-flying Vaux's Swifts, 4 LEAST SANDPIPERS and 7 Long-billed Dowitchers.
Along the river, Yellow-rumps were common and on the east side of Owosso
Bridge I pished up my biggest flock of the day. It included some 30 'rumps,
15 Orange-crowns, and a gorgeous male NASHVILLE WARBLER, which afforded
extended, close views.
Still waiting for vireos and flycatchers!
