Had a busy day yesterday and never got around to posting. I was in Portland
for the weekend so my mom and I birded Mt. Tabor yesterday morning (4/20)
from 8:30 to noonish. (We were also up there in the afternoon of 4/19 and
had a slightly early WESTERN TANAGER.) Migrants on 4/20:
Northern Harrier 1
Hammond's Flycatcher 4-5
Dusky Flycatcher 1
Pacific-slope Flycatcher 2
Cassin's Vireo 4-5
Warbling Vireo 1
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 8
Hermit Thrush 7
Orange-crowned Warbler 8
Nashville Warbler 5-6
Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) 10
Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon's) 20+
Black-throated Gray Warbler 15+
Townsend's Warbler 12+
Wilson's Warbler 1
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
The Dusky Flycatcher and Warbling Vireo were slightly early. A quick note
on Dusky Flycatchers: From 2011 - 2013, between late April and late May, I
recorded Duskys on 68% of morning birding trips to Tabor. Low count 0 (32%
of trips), median count 1 (42% of trips), high count 8 (twice), average
count about 1.3/trip. Recognizing their call note is by far the best way to
detect and identify them.
Cheers,
